I have tried almost every recipe in this book. It's a resource I go to again and again. I have recommended this book to everyone I know.

Every recipe I have tried from this book has been simple, healthy, and delicious. It's fantastic!

I have actually only made one recipe from this book, but it is so delicious it it a constant standby on my fall and winter dining room table. It is braised red cabbage which sounds rather boring, but with this recipe, it becomes really wonderful. I have never had red cabbage in any restaurant that tastes this good. I always wanted to try other things, but unfortunately (or fortunately for me) I have too many cookbooks and magazines to contend with and get easily distracted.

Pierre Franey takes you all over Europe to 1, 2 or 3 Michelin starred Chefs, and actually cooks with them to create low fat recipes, or use some that they have already. You will not be sorry.

We love both of the 60 Minute Gourmet books and bought this one to add to our library. It is very different in layout and quickness is cooking. The pictures are beautiful and the meal plans interesting, but not for the average dinner. This book is a combination of Pierre Franey's recipes and those of other great chefs. So just be aware that the recipes aren't as easy and simplified as those in his 60 Minute Gourmet books.
