### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The bible for french food.
*by S***N on 21 June 2025*

For persons just starting their journey into le Cuisine française, this is larger than the bible, the quran and the complete works of the Boddhisattva all at once. This should be in all civilized homes. You want to learn how to cook french food? This is it. No other books comes close.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book is great, the printing less so
*by V***A on 20 July 2011*

I bought the paperback edition of this book a few months ago, after having watched the film (of course!). And I must say I didn't expect it to be this good: I didn't really believe I could cook anything French. I still don't know if I can (as I haven't been to France), but what I do cook from Child's recipes tastes really good. I love the way the ingredients are listed (in the order they are to be used), I love the information on preparing certain parts of the dish in advance, the giving of reasons why one should or shouldn't do this and that, the exhaustive explanations on each step of the recipe, and I love the witty comments on various things, which make the book an enjoyable reading instead of a mere cookbook. Therefore, Nigella Lawson's books (which for me are the total opposite of this book - no explanations and no satisfactory results) are gathering dust on my shelves, and this one has been in constant use lately. I'm neither English nor American, so I'm not used to Fahrenheit degrees, pints, pounds, ounces and so on, but there are tables for conversion in the book itself, and the internet will provide whatever was left out of the tables (not that I've found anything missing so far).Print quality is not so good, letters are quite small, the text densely packed on the pages, the paper not so white, and the soft cover prone to water or sauce damage. The book is small and thick and doesn't stay open by itself. But on the other hand, it wasn't expensive, so for me all these physical details are not really an object of complaint. The book is written with a great sense of humour, the recipes detailed and easy to use, the dishes I've cooked are tasty, so for me there's nothing more to ask for!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to put together some French Cuisine
*by E***C on 29 September 2025*

Exellent little book,
