Not many like Pepin, he embodies a true long time love of food, cooking, the french way and good instructions. Its a powerful combination.

I have always loved Pepin's take on French cuisine. These recipes draw heavily on traditional recipes, but are significantly lightened up for the modern cook. This volume is exhaustive, and for the avid French cook, it is worth purchasing. For me, however, it is a bit too comprehensive to provide much inspiration.

Ooo, this cookbook is going to especially come in handy when I have all of the fresh fruits and veggies coming in from my garden. I really liked the dvd that came with the book. Pepin is user friendly for even the most beginner level cooks out there.
