5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best cookery books ever., May 17, 1999

By A Customer

The summary on the Amazon site suggest that this is a book on French cookery. It actually covers a much wider range of peasant cookery from the Mediterranean region including Spain, Italy and Greece as well as France. The approach is practical and straightforward but pays due attention to authenticity. Even though many of the recipes which were unfamiliar and exotic 40 years ago are know well known, the elegant writing make this a book to read as well as cook from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kaboom!, January 20, 2002

By	Samantha (British) (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews

This book has renewed my spirit for cooking. So simple in tasks, yet with the essence of true cookery, I have found a bible. Evoking the great repasts that my grandma used to lay on at a moments notice, this book has brought me close to understanding the old ways of cookery. The beauty of this book is that it beholds traditions alongside every new convenience, and is still as pertinent today as when it was written in 1957.
