Essential Pépin: More Than 700 All-Time Favorites from My Life in Food [With DVD] by Jacques Pépin

3.0

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.
