It's very witty, informative and French, but it's awfully long--sometimes long-winded. Some things were skimmed. A great reference to have on your shelf; not so much a great thing to check out from the library. Something every foodie should own, anyway.

Not comprehensive and obviously Francophile, but contains many fascinating nooks and crannies, particularly for Francophiles.
