5.0 out of 5 stars This should become a philosophy...
Since applying the lessons learned here at dinner, I have become increasingly popular among the culinary set. Who would have ever thought that cooking verbose recipes and reading equally lengthy prose could sound so seductive. As Shakespeare famously said, "prose before ho's". I recommend this book to any bachelor with a stove and the ability to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Proust would not like it!
Beautiful pictures. The recipes are OK but not quite Belle Epoque, and the relationship with Proust is a fake: he was anorexic. Books like that are irritating.
