Brennan chooses simple, hearty traditional recipes from the French countryside. I think I've made every dish in the book and all are superb. I can't recommend this book highly enough. I'm surprised it is almost out of print in hardcover.
Easy to follow, and exquisite photography

I am a vegetarian who travels quite a bit. I adore France, so it was with great pleasure that I purchased this book. I was not to be disappointed. Some people seem to be intimidated by the idea of French cuisine, but all of the recipes that I have made from this book were clear and concise. There was no room for error. The results were always above what I expected. The photography made me feel as if I were there. All and all a great book. If you are a vegetarian like me, who feels that most vegetarian cookbooks tend to be "hippie" and you would love to entertain guests (especially non-vegetarian guests) with an elegant meal, this is the book for you!
