Summary: Everything is a success
Comment: Of all the cookbooks that I use, this one never fails to supply an ahhhh for each new recipe I try. It's absolutely my favorite cookbook that brings the terrific cooking of Django home.

Summary: Great French Fare
Comment: This cookbook offers a great selection of dishes that taste like authentic French fare. The author provides short vignettes with each recipe, sort of travelogue pieces that set the stage for the dish. There are charming illustrations peppered throughout the book. The writing is straight-forward and the author's zest is apparent. She is more liberal with the fats than I would be, but this is easily adjusted. She also admits to a fondness for lots of garlic-- here too the recipes can use one clove instead of her preferred five cloves, or the garlic can be roasted to provide a mellow rather than biting flavor.

There are a variety of satisfying dishes that are quite true to their origins. The author provides some filling entrees, such as Puree Of Beans And Potatoes Over Roasted Red Peppers; Stuffed Savoy Cabbage; Pasta With Pistou And Goat Cheese; and Potato Cheese Cakes. She also presents a number of stews and souffles. Among the soups are great recipes for Fennel, Zucchini And Leek; Asparagus And Tomato; Celery And Celeriac; and Carrot And Tomato With Cumin. The salad section does not rely on greens: recommended are the Fennel And Red Pepper; the White Beans With Black Olive Dressing; and the Belgian Endives Baked With Roquefort. There are also good cheese and dessert sections in this wonderful cookbook.

Summary: Second purchase
Comment: I am buying a second copy for myself as I have no idea where the first one is. I loved the recipes. Loving all things french, these recipes make me think I am right there in France. I have a lot of cookbooks and this is still one I want on my shelf.
