5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful recipes that you can make at home,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cuisine Naturelle: French Cooking Redefined (Hardcover)
La Cachette, Meteigner's restaurant, is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. I am a big fan of French cuisine but often find it too rich to eat every day and too time intensive to cook often. The nouvelle French recipes in this book are intense without being overly rich. Also, most competent cooks can handle these recipes in the home kitchen. For wonderful and fancy traditional French check out The French Laundry Cookbook.
