Can Hardly Wait,
By Deborah (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French: The Secrets of Classic Cooking Made Easy (Paperback)
This is the kind of cookbook that excites both cooks and browsers. The recipes combine traditional and current foods of France. They are simple enough to avoid intimidation, but interesting enough to make the reader think "I can hardly wait to make that one!" Each recipe has a full-color photo that has been beautifully done. For many of us, this cookbook can substitute for a photo album of our last trip to Paris. It's great to have and to give others.

surprisingly easy and delicious recipes,
By
This review is from: French: The Secrets of Classic Cooking Made Easy (Paperback)
This is not the book for preparatory basics of French cooking, yet it's a fine book for clearly written, simple - the photos that follow along with the recipes are excellent - and, for those I've tried, many times improvising my own twist, the dishes are simply delicious - tonight I made Chicken with Red Wine Vinegar - subtle and outstanding. An ideal book to add different flavors to the palate without having to run to a specialty store to find the ingredients. Happy cooking

The best cookbook I have ever purchased,
By A Customer
This review is from: French: The Secrets of Classic Cooking Made Easy (Paperback)
The other reviewers are 1-0-0-% right! This is the best cookbook I have ever used. Almost everything I made from it came out delicious and worth repeating. Highly recommended. I would take any other books of Clements and Wolf-Cohen that were available.
