Pierre's best

Pierre was one of my cooking mentors. This volume continues to show his mastery. His longtime friendship with most of the chefs only adds to the enjoyment. The PBS series that accompanied this truly showed this, such as walking the fields with Marc Menoue of La Esperance. And of course with Paul Bocuse. Pierre was and will always be one of the giants....just ask Pepin!

Makes complex cooking easy enough for a novice.

I would have given the book more than 4 stars except that I am a vegetarian and many of the dishes are meat dishes. It is written with the flair and elegance typical of the French. All the dishes look wonderful. After borrowing it from the library several times, I decided it was enough of a winner to buy.
