Simple French Food by Richard Olney
An inspirational classic with for the most part simple, tasty recipes imbibed with the essence & tradition of French cooking. Whatever other favorite cookbooks you have it's a relief to dip into this small volume to charge the cooking batteries & be amazed at old traditional yet fresh & superb ways of dealing with simple favorites like eggs, pork, soups salads etc, it's about the essence of food & taste & not just a string of recipes, Alice Waters called it her inspiration for Chez Panisse & cooked from it for 20 years, Nuff said. If you love to cook get it immediately why waste time being without it? & it's inexpensive in paperback.
An overlooked classic
At least, overlooked by me. Mr. Olney writes well and manages to evoke the pleasures of a life in southern France while describing his approach to cooking. The recipes I have made are excellent and the book is fun to read even if you don't cook from it.
