Home Cooking like, but I’m not around in a big family all the time, nor do I run a restaurant. Instead I used for a group where my deux.Et critizism with this book is available in: cooking is almost all the recipes are for a minimum of 6 Esser, given sometimes 6-8 8-10 portions.Pendant or even read this book, I have it is extremely painful to find the book into practice, I need to break every single recipe. For example, with which the chicken is a great idea at first, but a recipe for about two liters of salt water, enough for 4-5 birds? It is far from my reality. In addition, the brine does not take very well, you shall use it in a timely manner. Chicken brine for two consecutive weeks? I do not think pas.Il is another aspect that bothers me, maybe in this book “too American for me. There is nothing wrong with a little” human interest “, but to my taste, it goes over the line here. For example, a recipe which is presented as “the last meal, my father before his death, and I am so happy that I cook for him” to not actually stimulate the appetite. With all due respect for the author’s personal feelings but if I like the stories like, I’m going to buy a biography, not a book cuisine.Je have no doubt that this is a good book for some but I finally decided to return.

Book would have been required of interesting recipes. As a rule, not cookbooks leader because I was not a team of preparedness. Recipes are simple – perhaps too simple. Rating: 2 / 5

From soup to nuts, this book has it all. . . truest sense of the word. If you have a cookbook that should be. Forget the Joy of Cooking, Julia Child and French cooking art, this is it! Rating: 5 / 5
