Authentic French Cuisine at its Best - By: Amazon Reviewer, 26 Jan 2006 
254 pages of high quality semi-shiny pages with superb
full-colour photography throughout.
Split over five chapters, with informative passages heading
each:-
Soups & Savouries
Salads & Vegetables
Fish
Meat, Game & Poultry
Desserts
finished with a comprehensive index, an alphabetical list of
recipes & conversion tables.
I was really impressed with the fish chapter of this imaginative book.
Particular favourites:-
Bouquet au Citron
Atlantic Prawns with Lemon/Lime -(taking a mere five minutes to prepare & five minutes to cook!)
Daurade au Vin Blanc
John Doryin White Wine & Asparagus
Maquereau a la Dijonnais
Mackerel with Leeks & Dijon Mustard
Special mention to:-
'Flétan a La Bordelaise' - Halibutin Red Bordeaux Wine.
This is an unusual way of cooking fish, full of depth and
flavour. Other varieties of fish can be used, such as salmon,
brill & cod but halibut works perfectly, gently simmered in
herbs & wine.
Old favourites also worthy of a mention are:-
Boeuf Bourguignon
Canard a L'orange
Creme Caramel
Croissants
Paté de Foie
Tarte Belle Hélene
The French Market - By: , 27 Dec 2005 Wow! What a beautiful book. The photography is fabulous & the recipes look pretty straight forward. I was transported to a sunny French market on Christmas morning & didn't want to leave!
Highly recommended
