Great Book This is possibly the most perfect French Bistro book I have read (Even though it's written by an American!). Great dishes (all the classics done well), great pictures, loved everything about it. Bourdain is a great Chef, he tells it straight and cooks it right. If you love French food buy this book.
Authenticity made accessible Bourdain tells you the real secrets of classic French Bistro cooking. Great recipes with the clearest explanations I've seen anywhere (move over Joy Of Cooking...), Bourdain's trademark prose, and the book is even pretty. What's not to like?
Great book - real cooking and real food Just cooked the steak frites. Fantastic! Easy and relaxing to cook. Chips that tasted like they used to when I was a child, and the steak was to die for. Served it with a great burgundy in cheap glasses as suggested and have been given the Daddy crown by some very happy guests.
Cassoulet next weekend...
