I have enjoyed trying some of the recipes from this book.
The book is important enjoyable on more than one level. I came to this cookbook by way of reading the recent autobiography by Julia Child, "My Life in France" which I high recommend. One of the goals of this cookbook was to preserve an important part of French culture.
