Review
"I love the Docteur de Pomiane's work... To me his brief explanations, his methodically organized recipes, unburdened with excess detail but invariably embodying the vital touch of the artist, are worth volumes of weighty expertise. I know of no cookery writer who has a greater mastery of the captivating phrase." -- Elizabeth David
"Pomiane's ten-minute cookbook is amazingly useful... I love all the quaintness that the Hymans have not tried to adapt or change." -- M.F.K. Fisher

Straight foreward information about cooking,
By tengibson (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French Cooking In Ten Minutes (Paperback)
French Cooking in Ten Minutes: Or Adapting to the Rhythm of Modern Life by Edouard De Pimiane will give cooks basic information about preparing a meal in a short amount of time.Written in 1930, the quick and easy recipes can be just the thing for a change of pace in the kitchen. Translated from the French, this little cookbook gives us a view of life 58 years ago when things moved at a hectic pace and people had little time for cooking after a long day at the office! De Pomiane's recipes utilize pre-packaged and canned foods, fresh fruit, and step by step instructions. De Pomiane, a doctor by profession, makes even the trickest of sauces appear easy to make. All in all, not a bad addition to the kitchen bookshelf.

The most delightful cookbook in my collection!,
By A Customer
This review is from: French Cooking In Ten Minutes (Paperback)
Extremely useful as well. I read it cover to cover the day it arrived (just last week) -- and I can't say that about ANY other cookbook! It is written (and translated) in a graceful and witty style, and is as enjoyable for the historical and cultural perspective it offers as it is for its culinary instruction and gastronomic joie de vivre. I have prepared two of Docteur de Pomiane's suggested menus and have greatly enjoyed both of them. I can see that with a bit of practice, I will indeed be able to turn out a 5-course lunch for two in about 15 minutes (not counting the time it takes to boil the water, of course). With this book and a little (fun) practice, you can impress your friends, astound your dates, and enhance your own quality of life. So what are you waiting for?

I have owned this book since 1974 - in fact I taught myself to cook from it. It's so much more encouraging than most cookbooks - no fancy equipment needed, no expensive ingredients, but lots of encouragement and enthusiasm. Should be on everyone's shelf.
