REALLY ESSENTIAL SMALL BOOK
Our old copy of this book was literally so worn out that it was unusable--I was delighted to find it available on alibris and promptly ordered a copy. It contains a large number of very useful recipes without the extremely elaborate and difficult instructions which make a good many books on French cooking rather off-putting. The results are uniformly excellent, with the added benefit that the cook is not an exhausted wreck by the time she serves a meal. I would recommend this book to both beginning and experienced cooks. It is also interestingly written, another plus. Try the Carrots Vichy, the Carbonade, the Croque-Monsieur, the Tomatoes Provencal--I could go on at length.
