very well written and tantalizing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Louis Diat's work is one of the classics, and the recipes are well explained, relatively straightforward to follow, and produce delicious results. If you like beef, try his recipe for Chateaubriande a la bouquetiere pour deux, a filet mignon dish with mixed vegetables (which can be expanded to serve more than two), and I guarantee you'll be hooked the first time, and anybody can make it following his recipe. It will be as good as anything you would pay a premium for in a fine restaurant, and impress the daylights out of your guests. This is one of my favourite cookbooks, and well worth seeking out. Recommended with enthusiasm.
