Product Information
There's never been a book about food like Let's Eat France! A book that feels literally larger than life, it is a feast for food lovers and Francophiles, combining the completist virtues of an encyclopedia and the obsessive visual pleasures of infographics with an enthusiast's unbridled joy. Here are classic recipes, including how to make a pot-au-feu, eight essential composed salads, pate en croute, blanquette de veau, choucroute, and the best ratatouille. Profiles of French food icons like Colette and Curnonsky, Brillat-Savarin and Bocuse, the Troigros dynasty and Victor Hugo. A region-by-region index of each area's famed cheeses, charcuterie, and recipes. Poster-size guides to the breads of France, the wines of France, the oysters of France - even the frites of France. You'll meet endive, the belle of the north; discover the croissant timeline; understand the art of tartare; find a chart of wine bottle sizes, from the tiny split to the Nebuchadnezzar (the equivalent of 20 standard bottles); and follow the family tree of French sauces. Adding to the overall delight of the book is the random arrangement of its content (a tutorial on mayonnaise is next to a list of places where Balzac ate), making each page a found treasure. It's a book you'll open anywhere - and never want to close.Product Identifiers

A great book, full of interesting information!
It's far bigger in size and amount of information than I expected. It's not obvious how to navigate through the book. The index could have been done more carefully, to help find specific information. For instance, if you search Paul Bocuse, it gives you a range of page numbers where he is mentioned. It would have been useful to underline in bold the two pages that are solely devoted to his biography.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wonderful book with outstanding graphics and content.
This is most incredible compilation of tasty tidbits on the topic of French Cuisine. Richly ornamented with graphics, history, recipes and more. WISH it had been in French as I thought I ordered but am so pleased that it no longer matters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
