Delicious!,

This review is from: Cooking School Provence (Hardcover)
This book is a delectable introduction to Provencal cuisine. Not only does it give simple and elegant versions of all the Provencal favorites (ratatouille, soupe au pistou, sauce remoulade, among others) it tells you how to serve and prepare an authentic meal from apertif to dessert. There are also many gorgeous pictures of beautiful Provence and its glorious food. This book will bring a lovely bit of Provencale sunlight into your kitchen (and onto your tastebuds!) Exquisite.

This review is from: Cooking School Provence (Hardcover)
Visually delightful the emphasis is on the personality of the food. Clear instructions both verbally and photographically empower the reader to create the tastes of the dishes of Provence. While the practical/usefullness of the book is outstanding it's also a feast for the eyes and a delightful browse.

Cooking School Provence,
By Food Lover (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cooking School Provence (Hardcover)
There are several good books available in English, about the food of Provence. This book, as far as I know, is the only book available that is written by a Chef de Provence. I think this book sets the standard by which all current books related to Provencal Cuisine, should be judged. For someone who truly loves to cook, and who loves the food of Provence, they need not look any farther.
