Thrilled to replace one of my most treasured, lost cookbooks
I owned this cookbook in the early 90s, and dearly loved it. In one of my moves, it got lost, and I have tried to replace it. At last! Two recipes that I've missed the most: whole wheat baguettes and rolls and roast turkey. You may roll your eyes at this roast turkey recipe, but it is delish!! You roast it on high for 30 mins., then turn it UPSIDE DOWN and roast for awhile, then turn it ...

Delicious
This is a book that's fun to read as well as to use for a great way to deal with those extra yolks and whites. It's a slender book but full of interesting recipes and information. The chocolate mousse is divine!

medically accurate and interesting; great, flavorful recipes
I received this book during the book tour distribution. As a physician I am basically skeptical about books claiming to reduce cancer rates. I was pleasantly surprised by the scientific accuracy of the text. I've since made at least 7 of the recipes, all of which are wonderful! I have found it difficult to locate cookbooks that include easy, fast recipes with low fat and reasonable flavor. ...

Perfect!
This book is good for beginners as well as intermediate cooks...since it not only provides basic information about cooking, but gives various tips and methods which intermediate level cooks will appreciate. I loved the recipe for american potato salad that julia gave...it came out exactly like it should! As for the pie/tart dough that Jacques gave, it was heaven;y....crumbly and flaky all at the ...

Excellent how to manual for the non phobic
This is a fabulous how-to for those who are somewhat handy with kitchen tools, though by no means does it require those with experience. The photographs and instructions are clear and explicit, and the book is written in an easy to read and non pretentious style. The recipes for pastry's and cakes are easy to follow, and WORK. I first came across this book when working as a bakers assistant at a ...

A photographic strip guide to professional cooking.
In this unique manual, black and white photographic strips are used to illustrate fundamental cooking procedures, from holding a knife when slicing an onion to preparing a salmon for gravad lax. Very much a book for those who take delight in discovering how the professional works. And those who do will take delight in this book.

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2001

Easy Access to Good Food
I began cooking from this book about 12 years ago, when it was first released in hardcover. I did not know Jaques Pepin's reputation, I simply wanted recipes one can do quickly. My bottom line on this book is that it succeeded in delivering on the promise of the book's title. I confess I was a little cynical about Pepin's book at first. Pierre Franey, a chef whose very very impressive pedigree I ...

Great Gift Book
If you know a serious French cook, I'm sure they know Jaques Pepin. The Book comes in a fabric covered box with gilded lettering. It's full of narrative about the recipes that are interspersed within the text. This is more a book about how the French and in particular Mr. Pepin live their lives with food as an intertwining and important part of life. At the time I bought this book, Amazon ...

easy to prepare, tasty food, easy to understand
I can highly recommend this book. If you're a beginner at cooking but you want to impress people then this book is really for you! I'm really a novice when it comes to cooking. Whenever I announced that I wanted to cook at home then suddenly everybody said they would be busy and couldn't come home to eat...Even worse, I'm in love with a boy who is really picky at eating because his mum is really ...

Perfect Endings
Looking for something different to cap off a dinner party, I was loaned this book by a friend. I've tried several recipes - all work just as described. I especially like the many 'easy' recipes that take little time, and the fact that many recipes are light on fat. It's a lovely book.

Excellent recipes for Asian-American food
In response to previous reviewers, this is not authentic Chinese food that Yan is making. That said, in reading this book I never got the impression from Yan that it was. Yan includes recipes for many favorites that you would find in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and other asian restaurants in the US. These are very good. I'm not buying General Tso's chicken or Sweet and Sour chicken again in ...

Wonderful bread recipes
After living overseas and in SanFranciso, I moved to the Southwest and was unable to buy the European breads I was used to eating; then I discovered this book. The bread recipes are very simple to prepare, and my family and friends just love them. If you love wonderful bread and don't have alot of time to bake, these are the recipes for you!

My Favorite Cookbook Yet!
I am very health conscious, so the title of this cookbook grabbed my attention. I did not even know who Mr. Pepin was. I purchased the cookbook on a whim, and have not been sorry, yet. I did not know healthy cooking could taste so good. As one reviewer said, it is all in the preparation and spices. I simply had no idea! I have made several recipes so far, and have not been disappointed. They are ...

Book for non-cooks too
My husband loves to cook, and enjoys Jacques Pepin. While I've watched the show to keep my husband company, I'm not much of a cook, but loved this book. It was interesting, entertaining and even got me to read some recipes (not my thing either!). I've since passed it on to a couple of other people that enjoyed it equally. I'm definitely glad we bought this and it has a permanent place in our ...

Not for beginners
This is not a book for beginners. This is a book for people who have some chops, but who want a reference manual. Ignore everybody who complains about the photos: they will never produce meal after meal. They are too busy complaining. This is a master-work.
