Paul Bocuse in Your Kitchen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though this book's recipes are for relatively humble dishes, most assume that the reader has at least some basic cooking knowledge. The majority employ ingredients commonly available throughout the United States, but recipes which demand eel, brains and rabbit (to name a few foods which terrify some Americans) are also included.
This having been said, this book's recipes are nevertheless generally more streamlined and less intimidating than Julia Child's recipes for dishes of comparable difficulty, and they are no less foolproof. The author's Hungarian goulash and dried fruit compote are easily within the range of a bachelor dad who cooks twice a year, and his duck with turnips will be a rewarding experiment for someone who's just stepping beyond the chicken-and-turkey frontier. The master's experience and taste are on display throughout, but professionals or sophisticated amateurs seeking novelty should look elsewhere.

Bocuse in Your Kitchen: Simple French Recipes for the Home Chef Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is basically a reprint of 1982's Paul Bocuse in Your Kitchen. I have the earlier book, and I ordered this book by mistake. Because of the slightly different title, I thought it might be different. There's no information on the page to indicate that the material has been published nearly word for word before. The back cover of the book itself does indicate this by implication, but you can't "see into" this book on Amazon like you can others.
Probably doesn't matter to most people, and it's a nice book. Just a warning to those of you who have the earlier version.
