I love this cookbook! Each recipe uses ingredients that you can find in the U.S. Each recipe has a color photo and accompanying photos and tips to help you prepare the dish. The book is broken up into sections like "Eggs and Cheese," "Poultry and Game," and "pastries" to name a few. I have made three or four dishes and, even though I'm not well-versed in french cooking, I have gotten rave reviews from my friends and family. My favorite recipe is the "Twice-Baked Souffle" which you can make a day ahead and then bake with the sauce right before you serve. This book is reasonably priced and I'm advising all my friends to purchase it.

This is a great little book to add to your cookbook collection. It has a great selections of classic French recipies. There is also a picture of each dish as well, and a nice little section on the cheeseboard. I highly suggest this book. Even if you don't intend to cook from it, it is a very nice reference.
