I liked this book because it has got simple and step-by-step instructions with basic ingredients that you can not find in most of other cookery books. Highly recommended.

I chose this book as a birthday present, my father said "good luck" as he had used Raymond Blanc books previously, finding them over complicated.

The pancakes with spinach, mushrooms & gruyere were wonderful, I served them with roasted cherry tomatoes, on the vine, and rocket salad, and they were well worth the effort.
The chicken breast with courgette ribbons takes a bit of effort the night before but on the day it is simple and very tasty.

I did not find the recipes over complicated, they do require some effort but to produce exceptional food (like in this book) when don't you need to put in the effort.

Great selection of classic French recipes given in an easily followed fluid style, Great to impress a loved one. Inspired me to follow on and buy Recipes from Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons, Yes the title is French but it is available in English, same style, photos all the way through and just as easy to follow. Follow Raymond Blanc to the letter and you will produce great food.

Raymond Blanc is one of the most respected and accomplished chefs in England.I can still remember vividly the fantastic experience of eating at his "Manoir aux Quatre Saisons." This book makes it possible to create spectacular and delicious meals. M Blanc shares some of his philosophy of cooking in a logical and passionate way. I have managed to achieve some very tasty results simply by following his straightforward recipies. If you like this book then I would recommend his "cooking for friends."
Also to be recomended is Ken Hom's simple Thai cooking; It works!

Simple yet impressive recipes, geniunely French! November 15, 2006
34 out of 38 found this review helpful

This is a very impressive collection of classic yet simple French recipes using ingredients commonly available in the UK. I haven't tried them all yet, but I haven't come across a dud yet either.

The only criticism I have is the recipes involving pulses will typically need longer cooking than the book suggests if you are using dried (even if pre-soaked) - I'd suggest twice as long. That's the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars.

I'd strongly recommend this to anyone who is interested in expanding their repertoire into French cuisine but has been put off by the perception that it's complicated.
