I never could have imagined when I first leafed through this (now) monumental coffee table-sized set devoted to the culinary specialties of Europe, that it would end up being my "go to" cookbook for select foundational recipes over the years. Certain dishes like Carbonnades flamandes (with suggested stoemp aux carrotes) have become the base recipes for some of the all-time favorite seasonal standards in my repertoire. It could do with an update for the 21st century in terms of the text, but show more many of the recipes are simply timeless (e.g. Choucroute a l'ancienne, Paella valenciana, and Moussakas). show less
Even as a (sometimes off the wagon) vegetarian, i love this book. It is more than a collection of recipes, you buy it for the reference, the writing and the illustrations. These books are definately gastro-porn.
If you ever needed something to convince you French food is about more than cheese, here is your book (though it has cheese in it, lots of cheese). It is more than a collection of recipes, you buy it for the reference, the writing and the illustrations. These books are definately gastro-porn. Whether you want to reminice over the amazing meal you had in Lyon or daydream about the improbably chance of a picnic in the Dordogne, find this book.
This cookbook is a clever read. Its recipes are all in serving sizes for 2 persons, and its ingredients are ones that might normally be thrown out. Half a jar of chickpeas is converted into fresh hummus, some milk and sugar into caramel spread, leftover spaghetti into pizza. It helps you save money and try new food ideas out cheaply.
