5.0 out of 5 stars Great French food for the serious cook, 5 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I was bought this book by a friend 28 years ago and am just about to replace it with the new edition, as it is falling apart from use! These are not quick, throw-together recipes for busy mothers or those with little time to prepare and cook. However, if the requisite time is taken to follow all the instructions to the letter, the food produced is magnificent and truly French. I have never had a failure yet but have had many compliments on the results. A great book for the dedicated, enthusiastic cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dinner-Party Bible, 7 April 2000
Every serious chef should have these volumes. They prove invaluable from day to day and cover classical french cusine from the simplest and yet perfectly cooked chicken supreme to the more exotic like how to cook game and how to kill and dress fresh crab and lobster. These books are getting a little long in the tooth now and the diagrams whilst clear are not always of the best quality. I must emphasize, however , that these books provide a timeless and classical reference from which amateur chefs can gain knowledge and professional chefs can use as a very concise and useful encyclopedia. Wonderful! - and very reasonable. Don't spend £s on the new "trendy" TV chef books until you take a look at both volumes of this series.
