A Little French Cookbook

International Little Cookbooks

by Janet Laurence

With such traditional and contemporary dishes as Tarte Tatin, Croissants, Ratatouille and Salade Nicoise, French cuisine is rightly regarded as one of the richest in the world, and these recipes add up to a repertoire that most would be happy to eat day after day. Once easily available in any number of modest restaurants, today they are more often found in the home; all the more reason, then, to cook them yourself!

Small book. Literally little! Great intro to French food. A little tricky if you do not know the English names of French foods. FYI an aubergine is an eggplant.
