I bought this book because I wanted to improve my cooking skills and enjoy home cooked French food. I found the recipes very easy to follow with great end results. There are two and three course menu suggestions for different occasions at the back of the book which is a great idea.

I liked this book because it has got simple and step-by-step instructions with basic ingredients that you can not find in most of other cookery books. Highly recommended.

Very special book..........
|
I chose this book as a birthday present, my father said "good luck" as he had used Raymond Blanc books previously, finding them over complicated.
The pancakes with spinach, mushrooms & gruyere were wonderful, I served them with roasted cherry tomatoes, on the vine, and rocket salad, and they were well worth the effort.
The chicken breast with courgette ribbons takes a bit of effort the night before but on the day it is simple and very tasty.
I did not find the recipes over complicated, they do require some effort but to produce exceptional food (like in this book) when don't you need to put in the effort.

A superb intro to classic French food
|

Great selection of classic French recipes given in an easily followed fluid style, Great to impress a loved one. Inspired me to follow on and buy Recipes from Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons, Yes the title is French but it is available in English, same style, photos all the way through and just as easy to follow. Follow Raymond Blanc to the letter and you will produce great food.

so that's how it's done!

Raymond Blanc is one of the most respected and accomplished chefs in England.I can still remember vividly the fantastic experience of eating at his "Manoir aux Quatre Saisons." This book makes it possible to create spectacular and delicious meals. M Blanc shares some of his philosophy of cooking in a logical and passionate way. I have managed to achieve some very tasty results simply by following his straightforward recipies. If you like this book then I would recommend his "cooking for friends."
Also to be recomended is Ken Hom's simple Thai cooking; It works!
