Summary: Simply the best
Review: 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.

Review: First of all, every recipe I have tried is absolutely delicious. Doesn't give expected amount of time to prepare, so just read the recipes through before you begin. You will not regret buying this book. The author gives wonderful explanations and suggestions for how to use vinegarettes, sauces, and what to look for in a good olive oil. I can't say enough good things about this book. The author lives part time in France so it's not just someone interpreting French food. Has become my most used cookbook. My husband loves everything I've made too!

Summary: Mmmmmmm. Dairy!
Review: I have recently started to try my hand at vegetarian french cuisine. So far, I have made the Gnocchi w/ gorgonzola sauce, the Wild Mushroom Ragout and the teleme croque (a french toast grilled cheese). All were really tasty and very hard to make poorly. Things to be aware of:1) Author's descriptions of the dishes are silly
2) Does not teach you about the cuisine (for example, what is a Ragout?) Overall, I am really happy with it.
