French Country Light Cooking

Summary: Ideal book for beginner cooks, great tasting recipes
Review: Basically, this book taught me how to cook. As a married male, my wife explained to me that I need to do "my part". So we hired a maid and I bought a cook book. Since my own mother never let me use the kitchen, I was an extreme beginner. This book is wonderful; it provides easy step by step instructions and expectations. I have used nearly 3/4 of the recipes and all of them are consistently wonderful. I have shared this book with many friends who rave about my cooking. Both my wife and I are very partial to Mediterranian, French, and Northern Italian cooking. This book combines them all while making them low in fat. Simple natural substitutions for heavy quantities of creme and butter while still making the entres scrumptuous. This book has given me the skill and confidence to use other cook books which usually are complex and missing a few details. Have fun!
