This review is from: Cuisine Grand-Mere: Traditional French Home Cooking (Williams Sonoma Kitchen Library) (Hardcover)

I bought this book to help me cook when entertaining french friends and co-workers when we moved to France. Expatriates will know the difficulty of having to change measuring units and basic ingredients when adopting your recipes to life in another country.
What I wanted most was to have some basic recipes with everyday ingredients I could find in the store where I live. I'm not sure if one would easily find the French ingredients mentioned in the States (creme fraiche, lentillles du Puy).Still, this book was indispensable to me. I loved the stories behind the dishes AND the variations suggested. I mostly love the recipes in both metric and good ole' cups/tablespoons.
