The venerable Jacques Pépin, the chef who, along with Julia Child, introduced French cuisine to millions of Americans, also wrote a book to get dinner on the table quickly if not always easily. There are some lovely dishes in this cookbook. Originally released in 2004, some of the recipes are dated in the era of low-carb and artificial ingredients, but fresh, wholesome French food never goes out of style, especially as Pépin doesn’t lard on the fat as was common in the 1960s. A wonderful trove of recipes.
Such family-friendly recipes from a world-class chef! Simple but creative recipes, such as "Tomato and mozzarella fans," which is slices of mozzarella in a tomato that has slots cut out, sprinkled with olive oil and sherry vinegar. Beautiful, healthy, and classic.
Disappointing. I wanted more.
