Customer Reviews

Great ideas for cooking light -- and great recipes.

I picked up this book on a bargain table a few years ago, and it has been a delightful surprise. Everything I've made from it is very tasty and very healthful. I just made haddock "en papillote" last night -- delicious, and it meets my point requirements for Weight Watchers. I encourage people to buy and use this quiet little gem of a cookbook.

Outstanding for weight watchers

This is an outstanding cook book for delicious French cooking for those who want to watch the calories and fat.

Ideal book for beginner cooks, great tasting recipes

Basically, this book taught me how to cook. As a married male, my wife explained to me that I need to do "my part". So we hired a maid and I bought a cook book. Since my own mother never let me use the kitchen, I was an extreme beginner. This book is wonderful; it provides easy step by step instructions and expectations. I have used nearly 3/4 of the recipes and all of them are consistently wonderful. I have shared this book with many friends who rave about my cooking. Both my wife and I are very partial to Mediterranian, French, and Northern Italian cooking. This book combines them all while making them low in fat. Simple natural substitutions for heavy quantities of creme and butter while still making the entres scrumptuous. This book has given me the skill and confidence to use other cook books which usually are complex and missing a few details. Have fun!
