Book Reviews of Bistro (Menus and Music) (Sharon O'Connor's Menus and Music)
Book Review: The Most Lauded Cookbook I Own
Summary: 5 Stars
First, the CD: Everyone loves it. It's fantastic atmosphere music. But the book-- A miraculous compilation. She begins by explaining bistro origins and culture in Paris, then focuses on one of the many Parisian bistros covered in the book-- its story, a walk around the neighborhood, how to find it. Then a few of their star recipes. This book boils down centuries of combined knowledge of the cooking-est culture in the world.
Everything I've tried has been nothing short of an unqualified triumph. You'll understand when the people you invite over begin using every superlative in their arsenal to describe not just what they are tasting, but what they are feeling. I'm somewhat of a 5-star restaurant hopper, so I've got a basis for comparison.
And the Coq au Vin-- quite possibly the best thing anyone has ever eaten. Anyone. Ever. Honest to God, I nearly cried. It's Beethoven's 7th symphony. It's Citizen Kane. It could bring about world peace. Do not die without having eaten this dish. Is that emphatic enough?
To sum up-- the CD is great, the hisotories are interesting, the illustrations are helpful, the content is educational, and the recipies are divine.
