France: a Culinary Journey

What a great book! Beautiful illustrations, fantastic recipes and much interesting info about the various areas of France. Reading it is like taking a trip. My son used a lot of the info from the book when he had to write a report on France in school.

One of the Nicest Cookbooks I own

This book looks at French cooking by region. It gives a bit of history for each region and insight into the region's cuisine.There are pictures of many of the dishes to aid in preparation and the recipes are solid.If you enjoy reading cookbooks, this is definately one worth getting.

French Cooking Made Fun and Educational

Since recently learning how to speak French, a friend brought me this book so I could also cook French cusine. A Culinary Journey has not only guided me in preparing some wonderful dishes, but it has been very educational. Some of the value added offerings of this cookbook are that all the dishes are spelled out in both French and English, which helps to write the menu for when your French friends come for dinner. The book also provides maps that indicate what are commonly grown or raised foods in the region. There are historical tid bits that explain where and why the foods have become a common way of eating and tradition. Additionally, this book if filled with hundreds of breathtaking photos of not only the dishes you will be preparing, but of the all the regions in France. If you never wanted to visit France, you will after reading and cooking with this book. Bon appetite
