Book Reviews of The Country Cooking of France
Book Review: This is the best cookbook I've ever owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is more than a cookbook. To sit down and read it is to be transported to the French countryside in the company of someone who knows and loves local ingredients and traditional French recipes passed down by generations.
The recipes are meticulously cross referenced with with techniques and the glossary of terms. The section on cheeses is like a basic primer and cheat sheet about French artisan cheese. Each recipe has a narative at the beginning that makes you understand what the end result should be like, by giving you it's history or a story about how the person who's recipe it is lives.
If my house was burning, I'd grab this book. Of course after my dog and cat.
