Praise
"If Betty Crocker had been a real person--and had been born in France--her name would have been Ginette Mathiot....In addition to 1,400 crisply rendered recipes, it includes everything you need to know--about tools, techniques, ingredient choice and menu-building--to take on almost any reasonable home-cooking challenge with Gallic flair."
