Book Reviews of The French Chef Cookbook

Book Review: French Food to Die For
Summary: 5 Stars

As I said in my review of Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home, it seems the whole world is into Julia Child's cooking, well at least my cooking friends are anyway. She was a wonderful cook and an engaging personality. I got these two books at an estate sale in Laguna Beach and they have really overwhelmed me. Especially this one. Starting with the cover. Julia Child is so thin and so young. She did French cooking for a long time.

And in this book, which originally came out four years shy of half a century ago, you'll find more delicious recipes than you can shake a stick at and you'll get a little education into the fine art of French cooking. The book starts with a Note on Wine and if you're going to cook and eat French cooking, the wine is important.

This book came out before we were all interested in low fat diets, so don't go looking for a whole gang of low cal meals here, because you won't find them. However, you will find really, really good, delicious and better than scrumptious dining. For us, Hubby Dub and myself, we watch what we eat, well I watch for both of us, five days a week. I try and cook delicious, low fat, meals, so that we stay healthy and live longer.

But two days a week we don't watch our diet at all. We eat what we want and if a recipe calls for heavy cream, I bloody well put it in. This book is great for those two days. If you can't eat like this a couple days a week, then what is the living business all about anyway. Besides if we healthy five-sevenths of the time we're way, way better off then those who don't watch their calories at all. So we don't feel the least bit guilty about indulging our taste buds and stuffing ourselves with food to die for a couple times a week. And that's what you'll find in THE FRENCH CHEF COOKBOOK, food to die for.
