I wanted to include this book with a shower present but it had writing in it. I will give it to the gal but will explain that all three cookbooks I bought here are recycled. Not a big deal. I just didn't know if she was opening presents in front of everyone so I didn't bring them along.
French - Delicious Classic Cuisine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
As a beginner to French cooking I found this cookbook to be perfect!! The pictures were clear and big, the recipes, though traditional and authentic, were easy to follow and not complicated. So far, everything that I have made from this cookbook has been delicious and turned out just like the picture! :o))) This is definitely a new favorite cookbook and is becoming an often-used cookbook!
CAUTION!!! multiple editions exist

one of my favorite go-to cookbooks for desserts! My original copy got ruined, so my mother graciously gave me hers....i was stunned to find that three of my favorite recipes were NOT in her version. Now im desperately trying to figure out how I can identify my original book, since it's long been thrown away. Look for the version that has fruit tarts and the strawberry Mille feuille.
Easy to follow, great recipes, an image for each recipe!

Instructions are very easy to follow; recipes are delicious; an image for every recipe; opened me to new ways of cooking and ingredients -- including rabbit meat! and a few other surprises which I suppose are not at all extraordinare for chic French dining. Highly recommend this cookbook to everyone!
Fabulous

I have had more great recipes come out of this book than any other I use and I am always being complimented on how great my dinners are when I use this. Most do not call for any ingredients you can not get in the US, so it poses no trouble there.
Yummy desserts

I like this book because the recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients are not that strange. I also find the dessert section very interesting. I made some sweets that turned out great. The only thing that I don't like is the excess use of butter and the many steps in doing anything.
