In France, Cooking Is A Serious Art

Cooking May Be A Creative Art, But It's Also A Wonderful Full-time Hobby.

I Found That The Recipes In Most - In All - The Books I Had Were Really Not Adequate. They Didn't Tell You Enough... I Won't Do Anything Unless I'm Told Why I'm Doing It. So I Felt That We Needed Fuller Explanations So That If You Followed One Of Those Recipes, It Should Turn Out Exactly Right.

I Had My First French Meal And I Never Got Over It. It Was Just Marvelous. We Had Oysters And A Lovely Dry White Wine. And Then We Had One Of Those Lovely Scalloped Dishes And The Lovely, Creamery Buttery Sauce. Then We Had A Roast Duck And I Don't Know What Else.

In Spite Of Food Fads, Fitness Programs, And Health Concerns, We Must Never Lose Sight Of A Beautifully Conceived Meal.
