A Cover-to-Cover Read!
Rating:
5 / 5
This is the first cookbook that I have sat down and read cover-to-cover. The authors have a great sense of humor as well as excellent taste in food! The recipes are easy to follow, delicious, and sensuously sinful!
Finally, people who know how to eat.

I don't know about you, but I am so sick of going to restaurants and having my dinner companions say things like: "sauce on the side, please" or "can this be made vegetarian?" or "no oil, no butter" or "I know it's not on the menu, but would you mind just plopping down a dry old chicken breast on half a lettuce leaf?" It's embarassing. I eat at least a stick of butter a day, not to mention all the foie gras, creme brulee, lamb and creamy sauces I pile in, and I'M THIN! And I have LOW BLOOD PRESSURE! Because of EXERCISE! So if you are like me, this book is for you. The authors have a ribald sense of humor, and in spite of the typeface this is a fun book to read. Surprisingly, the recipies are really, really good. Quails with Morels, Penne with Salmon, and the Roast Duck with Black Currant Sauce are all trust-worthy concoctions. The coq-au-vin, seemingly condensed from Julia Child's three-pager works well too. So, if you sit around a lot, watch TV, or just don't move much, don't use this book. You'll probably die.
Freed from the repression of PC cookery

5 / 5
Tired of being bullied by the passive-aggressive sniffs and lifted eyebrows of the low-fat crowd? Arm yourself with this book! Don't be intimidated by those sanctimonious health-mongers! It is better to have real creme once a month than to have skimmed milk every day. The recipes are decadent, expensive and worth it. Eat well and prosper.
