Inspiring, inexhaustible supply of recipes, 27 Nov 2003
I have many cookbooks, and I love cooking from them, but if there's one that I return to time and time again then it's this one. Partly because I love French food and am largely vegetarian (a fairly uncommon combination), but mostly because there is a huge and varied range of recipes described here, all written with a passion for the food, accompanied by short anecdotes ideas for variations.True, the author is somewhat keen on her butter and cream, and the jacket photo of her should serve as a warning of what this can do to your figure, but you can freely take liberties with any of the recipes, substituting and reducing quantities as you see fit. And on the occasions when nothing but a complete blow-out on comfort food will do, well then use the whole damn block of butter and tub of cream, your taste-buds will thank you for it. A cliché but... I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. It's wonderful, and has changed my cooking habits for life.
