folks continue to borrow and never return
this is a wonderful cook book for folk who are not monkeys - it gives suggestions on food,spices,... that go together - you are the master of how much. this is my third copy that has been borrowed and never returned - and countless other associates that have scanned my copy and purchased their own. my son was amazed how food pairing is not a new show on the food channel
La repertoire de la cuisine
this book is an essential for inspiring young chefs. it lists all the french dishes for each type of food available.
Not for the faint of heart
Being a reprint of a much older work, this little tome does not come with much in the way of instructions on its use. The lists are really nothing more than thumbnail sketches of what goes into a particular dish; no proportions, no measurements, no recipes as we recognize them today. The pages contain hundreds of entries categorized by food component: pork, salmon, potatoes, suaces. A classic reference work of classic French dishes from cover to cover.
For those of you curious to know what goes into making a sauce mornay or fish barbouille and aren't worried about how one actually goes about making them, then you will find this book very useful. Keep it right beside your well-used copy of Julia Child and your old French dictionary from high school.
