Delicious and Insightful,
By Jeffrey Steingarden (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At Home in France: Eating and Entertaining with the French (Paperback)
No need to buy a ticket to France.....this book takes you there in ways only MFK Fisher and possibly Richard Olney managed. I loved it and continue to mine its rich vein of recipes. It seems extraordinary that an American could so truly and sensitively capture the culture of France.

Romantic and Fabulous Recipes!,

This review is from: At Home in France: Eating and Entertaining with the French (Paperback)
I have had this book for many years and tried most of the recipes. None has disappointed and many have become a staple of our own family cookbook. This book is re-visited by my husband and myself time and time again, as it evokes a romantic feeling for this wonderful country and informs in an interesting and real way. The photographs are fantastic and in fact one house pulled at my heart strings so much that the words "I am going to buy a house like that" popped unbidden out of my mouth. Indeed I did buy a house, clutching this book as guide, companion and inspiration, reading about all the regions of France and gaining a valuable insight this way. I urge anyone who has casually considered buying At Home In France to stop hesitating and do so before it disappears from print. A jewel in the midst of many other mediocre offerings.
