Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are obsessed with cooking and want a sense of the history of French cooking and cookbooks, this is the book for you. Don't buy it if you are looking for a fun dramatic read. I give it 4 stars, mostly for not contextualizing the cooking enough within the times; it's more a scholarly paper on cookbooks. She is more focused on recipes, origins of recipes, and history of recipes. However it is fun and very cool to have the 25 transcribed recipes in the back. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
