Publisher's Note In all of our recipes, and especially in those for desserts and cakes, we have taken full advantage of modern mechanical aids wherever we have found them effective. While Volume I reflects France in the 1950s and the old traditions of French cooking, Volume II, like France herself, has stepped into contemporary life.
Industry Reviews "[It] is still regarded as the definitive English-language work on classic French cuisine." Time - Michael Demarest (04/18/1983)
"Today, when a young person asks me what cookbook is indispensable, I mention these two volumes without hesitation. They are not only great teaching guides, they are cultural guides to the cuisine that has long been considered the greatest in the world." Detroit News - Martha Stewart (02/26/1986)
