"Simple French Food has the most marvelous French food to appear in print since Elisabeth David's French Provincial Cooking.... The book's greatest virtue is that the author...really teaches you to cook French in a way I've never seen before. Here you acquire the methods, the tour de main, the tricks that are the heart and essence of French food, unforgettable once acquired in this book because of their logical, well-explained presentation" (Nika Hazelton, The New York Times). "I know this book almost by heart. It is a classic of honest French cooking and good writing. Buy it, read it, eat it" (Lydie Marshall).
