Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first bought this book as a Penguin edition in 1965, and this was a reprint, the Penguin book being first published in 1963. I have used it ever since, the family favourites are Beef Ragout and Beef Goulash. My copy is falling to bits, taped up and pages disintigrating and dotted with bits of sauce! I wish they would bring it out again, but in the meantime I will get a used copy from Amazon (and hope it's in a better condition than mine).

I bought my first copy in 1972, the year my son was born. We have enjoyed many meals based on its recipes. I am a self-taught cook and everything works that I have tried from the Penguin Cordon Bleu Cookery Book. Unfortunately my copy is falling apart (a bit like myself!) Any chance of republishing it?

I loved this book. I learnt to cook from a very old, battered copy of it which has now sadly disintegrated. The authors calmly guide their pupil through a comprehensive guide to french cookery, tailored for the home kitchen. Be warned - the authors had " a sound pratical training in cookery before the war", and this occasionally causes a rather brusque style. I found this added to the charm of the book and recommend it as a good read, in addition to it being a bible of sound culinary sense.
