Summary: I love this cookbook.
Review: A great book with great menus and just delicious. Easy to prepare and fun to eat. The show was a pleasure to watch, too!

Summary: Great if you can follow a recipe!
Review: I was given this book as a gift; never saw the show. The recipes are excellent but don't allow for much improvisation (in my experience!)--the low-fat adjustments he makes really need to be followed to the letter in order for the dishes to come out as well as they should. That said, if you are a recipe-follower, he does amazing things with short ingredient lists, easy cooking techniques, and interesting combinations of ingredients. I especially like the potato-crusted fish recipe and the "spicy ginger chicken" (which is not at all spicy, but very tasty). There's also a great cole slaw recipe that uses curry powder--sounds weird, but it's delicious!

Review: If you love to eat but are afraid to cook gourmet, Jacques Pepin and Claudine shows you how to have a gourmet meal every day. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Its handy if you cook for yourself or a small family. The book is an absolute must if you follow the show on PBS. I never thought I could cook such wonderful dishes until I used this book.

Each step is carefully explained and even readers with limited cooking experience should fine it enjoyable and easy to follow his instructions. Work your way through this book and you'll have no trouble enchanting your guests or your family. These lovely meals are for sharing.

Summary: My favorite cookbook...
Review: There are lots of simple, elegant and flavorful recipes in here from master chef Jacques Pepin. Remember, he is cooking with his ditzy daughter, Claudine, so things are never too complicated. This is great for folks who want to start down the gourmet path without too much fuss. My personal favorite is the butternut squash puree. I make it about once a month.
