Review: Quality and great guidance notes. - I’m liking the language that’s used in this book - I know it’s been upgraded but there’s a feeling of an age gone by and I like that. Less pretentious than some modern cook books. I like the layout in the books - ingredients are listed along side each step - in the margin - very useful as many of the recipes are multi-step. Keeps you exactly in line with what you need and when I’m the process (see the second photo). They are thick books and don’t hold open on the work surface easily so I invested in a book stand - marvellous Going to try some recipes soon - can’t wait
Review: Outstanding guide to French Cuisine - Inspired by recent television versions of the life and cooking of Julia Child, my wife has begun a blog on her experiences in mastering French cooking throughout 2023. So these volumes were a present to assist her in her journey. Beautifully presented in their own slip case, the two volumes are illustrated with detailed line drawings and clearly outlined recipes. These are not your flashy, glossy lightweights full of pages of enticing full page photos, these are classics from the 1960s. These are detailed tried and tested recipes from a passionate exponent of French cuisine who turned America TV audiences away from their TV dinners. I’m sure that these will get some heavy use, not only in 2023, and I will get the benefit of their contents although my waistline will probably suffer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great books and recipes
*by F***. on 7 May 2011*

I bought this book as a gift to my girlfriend after watching that movie... I wasn't sure what to expect but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by the content and quality of the book. The text is printed on non-white kind of "old-style" good quality paper. The recipes are great, and being French myself I discovered many recipes I have never even remotely heard of and a nomber of very useful advices to use while cooking. As a previous reviewer said, the measurements are the royal UK thingy, and it might be tricky for us metric users, but I've learned before that it is always useful to keep a conversion chart of some kind in your kitchen, so it is not such a big deal. You could also just convert everything online before starting, it won't take much time, unless you plan to cook every single recipe in both books in a record time.
