About this title

Review:

This French cookbook makes for a fine, appealing guide recommended for any seeking an introduction to regional French cuisine without the complicated preparations of many French books. Try 'Country Toast with Fresh Tomatoes and Red Peppers' or 'Chicken Sauteed with Fresh Tarragon': access to fresh vegetables and herbs proves a prerequisite for many dishes. The delightful shots of gardens and French countryside provides many enjoyable scenes. Enduring Harvests E. Barrie Kavasch Globe Pequot Press 1-56440-737-3 $14. -- Midwest Book Review
