Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Though at first glance too luscious for the pots, pans and grease stains of the kitchen, this opulently illustrated oversize volume--travel book as much as recipe collection--can function there admirably, seducing the hungry and the restless. The latest in the publisher's series of regional cookbooks (others on Italy, China and Asia have preceded it), it will keep readers turning pages even if they never pick up a saucepan. Chapters alternate between discussing the different regions of France and offering a good selection of traditional recipes. French-born authors and cooks Marianne Comolli, Elisabeth Scotto and Michele Carles reflect on the history and geography of France with appetizers from Provence, entrees from Lyonnais and desserts from Anjou. This is hearty, not haute , cuisine: well-organized recipes are scaled for the average cook, who won't have to go in search of rare ingredients or spend hours chopping and mincing. Les soeurs Scotto make use of blenders and food processors when needed.

From Library Journal

The fourth title in this series, following last year's widely popular Italy the Beautiful Cookbook (Knapp, 1988), is quite similar to Robert Freson's The Taste of France (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1983). Both explore the various regions of the country, both are lavishly illustrated with full-page color photographs, and both provide recipes for traditional specialties from the areas they depict. The authors are well-known French food writers, but it is the photographs that stand out. A lovely book for those who can afford it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cookbook Ever, Dec 16 2002
By 
Jeff Balch (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: France: The Beautiful Cookbook (Hardcover)
This is easily the greatest French cookbook I've ever seen and one of the best cookbooks overall. I've been to France many times and the same food is in this cookbook as is in France. The recipes are easy to understand, the food is great, and the photographs just make you more and more hungry. I am a 16 year old boy who has a hard time cooking and filling myself, but this cookbook remedies both of these problems. The meals are simple, yet elegant, not to mention delicious, filling, and scrumptious. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking and would like cooking to become a passion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gourmet's Delight, Dec 3 2001

This review is from: France: The Beautiful Cookbook (Hardcover)
This is an absolutely wonderful cookbook. There are so many divine recipes in this book, I don't know that, in my lifetime, I will be able to cook all the dishes I want to try. The photographs are as appealing as the recipes. This is, without a doubt, the best French cuisine cookbook I have seen.

This review is from: France: The Beautiful Cookbook (Hardcover)
A great collection of the recipes that gave French cuisine its international fame is awaiting you in this book. Don't allow yourself to be intimidated by the excellent pictures, and try some of these traditional dishes. The vast majority of the ingredients can be found in the United States. Just make sure you take your time to enjoy this wonderful food, as the French take theirs to make meal taking an amazing experience.
