French home cooking

I first fell in love with this kind of food on a trip to the New Hebrides Islands (the island of Espiritu Santo) in the 60's. Upon returning home I immediately purchased the only book of French cooking around--Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and put on 20 pounds. This book is wonderful! It's fun to read, easy to work with, and the food is really, really good. I loved the Split Pea soup and the Hunter chicken. Fortuneately, since the paradigm shift in French cooking during the 1970's, there's not a lot of high-fat food here--just good, solid, nourishing comfort food. Enjoy...
