Product Description
From Stéphane Reynaud, the best-selling French author of Ripailles and Rôtis, comes his quirky culinary almanac 365. There's a recipe for every day of the year, including breakfasts, one-pan wonders, succulent roasts, refreshing salads, cool cocktails and everything in between. It's an irreverent selection of dishes to inspire every meal. Stéphane also includes a seasonal calendar and clever cooking tips to make your dishes a success. 365 is written and illustrated in the same idiosyncratic French style you loved in Ripailles and Rôtis. Key points: 365 easy-to-cook French recipes to make and inspire for every day of the year; every recipe is accompanied by stunning photography and cooking tips; quirky illustrations and contemporary design take this cooking companion from stovetop to coffee table seamlessly

Format:Hardcover
Original? Maybe not
Contrived? Possibly
Precise recipes? (You are kidding, right? This is a French cookbook!)
A thing of beauty? Let's not get carried away...
I may have moaned as I diced the Reblochon and I may have cursed a little as the required `750ml Rousanne' turned out to be 200ml too much and I may have even stamped my foot a bit as the '15 minutes or so' turned out to be more like 30...but there is no getting away from the sheer pleasure of eating the end results - this is food that never fails to stun the table into a total and absolute silence (if you get it right...).
Go into this with your eyes open and you won't be disappointed; if your culinary skills haven't moved beyond burning toast and cracking eggs then Stephane Reynaud is unlikely to be your new best friend but if you find Nigella a `walk in the park' then this might just be the book for you.
Will you do every recipe? Probably not (unless you have a particular soft spot for the odd bit of pigeon and a few trotters).
Is the book so wonderfully photographed that you won't care? (I should sincerely hope not - it's a book to be cooked from - not left on a coffee table).
Might it drive you to swig from the Rousanne bottle in frustration? Highly likely.
Will you find yourself dreaming about the chocolate mousse or the roast shoulder of lamb? The soupe de poisson or the pineapple crumble? The Tartiflette or the ginger crème brulee....
Absoloutely, definitely, 100% yes...

Format:Hardcover
This is a really lovely pick up anytime and feel good cookbook, the recipes are easy and useful when you need some inspiration. The layout is simple and the idea of 365 days and thoughts and anecdotes and recipes might have been a bit contrived but it's not at all, the book is fresh and upbeat and really relaxed. The recipes aren't fine dining restaurant ideas, but food for friends and family. There are some lovely photos and funny drawings and it's a book you'll use often I'm sure because there's so much to enjoy.

Format:Hardcover
I've long been a fan of the work of Stephane Reynaud, from Pork & Sons and Ripailles to last year's Rotis, and 365 is yet another belter from the French chef. Boasting a recipe for every day of the year, this is an accessible cookbook for the novice and more adventurous chef alike, with rustic French meat, fish, vegetarian and sweet dishes entertained, all passionately presented with seasonality in mind. What's more, with stunning photography (by Marie-Pierre Morel) and quirky illustrations throughout it's a real feast for the eyes too. Bon appétit!

Interesting book
This is a nice book but not suitable for those living in the southern hemisphere as, rather than talking about seasons, it talks about months.
