Baking Chez Moi: Recipes from My Paris Home to Your Home Anywhere by Dorie Greenspan

5.0

Gorgeous. Lush. Delectable. Magnifique! I could run out of adjectives. This book is amazing. The recipes are amazing---French family recipes, mostly, not ones that take three days to make. They are more complicated than many American recipes, but I have a feeling a lot of them are worth it. Some ingredients are not going to show up in small towns in Iowa :-) but who cares. Just looking at the pictures and reading the commentary are worth it. If a cook even managed to add two or three of these to her repertoire, she'd astound her friends and be considered a genius. :-) On top of that, comments, tips, "bonnes idees" and more. I really don't think I can rave about this any more. If there is a Cookbook Award of Awesomeness, I hope this wins. It's big, and lovely, and therefore a bit on the pricey side, but if I could I'd give one to my dh's aunt and cousin and anyone else I really liked. :-)
