Fresh from France

I have owned this cookbook for seventeen years and made at least half of the recipes in it. I'm always asked for the recipe by guests. Even my eleven year old nephew enjoyed several of the soup recipes so much, he decided to make them himself. My daughter was a vegetarian during her teens and many of the recipes that I used during that time have become part of my everyday meals. There is nothing more delicious than well prepared vegetables. The dishes in this book are inspired as well. My daughter was disappointed to find that the book is out of print and since I'm not willing to part with my copy, I was able to obtain a used edition to surprise her.

I liked this book SO much that I bought it from our local library as it was out of print and one couldn't be located at the time. I love to grow my own vegetables and each recipe I tried was better than the last. I've tried at least a dozen of the recipes so far with incredible success. The beet timbales with lemon sauce are scrumptious and I have made the cream of carrot soup at least 10 times. The recipes are not difficult to make and the instructions are specific. If the rest of Faye Levy's books are this good, I'll be ordering them one by one! In my opinion it is far and away the best vegetable cook book on the market.
