Book Reviews of The French Chef Cookbook

Book Review: old friend is home again
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of the first cookbooks, perhaps the first, I ever owned. Before Julia, my cooking was limited to the recipes my grandmother and mother shared with me, basic good simple fare with a Czech flair from Nana. This show and cookbook opened my eyes to a more varied cuisine and some of the recipes are favorites. When my kids left home, they each took a cookbook from my collection and one of them took Julia. Since then I have missed several recipes, especially the daube de boef, which I am delighted to have on hand again.

The actual book I received was in primo shape, especially considering its age. So happy to have my good friend Julia back in my kitchen!
