Excellent Regional French Cookbook
Published by Liza D , 1 year ago
I love this book . As a fan of Bruno I loved all the dishes from the books and this is a professional beautifully photographed cookbook . I have already made the Tarragon Chicken and Cinnamon baked apples and have the ingredients to make the Roasted squash slices with sage and walnuts !
I am now inspired to visit the region .
Would highly recommend.
