Thanks Lorraine for mentioning this book. I purchased it from Amazon and started reading it last night. What an amazing book. I love it so much, I'm ordering another copy to send to my brother in Florida. (He's actually been to France, so he will really enjoy it)

Go ahead and start it anyway, Jean. I have a feeling it's a book that will get read 2 or 3 times. Especially since you are a chef, you will understand and appreciate the menus even more than than I do and I think they are pretty amazing. From the first chapter, I was transported to a different way of life. Enjoy!

I've read the book a few times!!! The recipes are definitely French, but written in English.
