Written in French 🙄 but one of the best visual cooking books I have ever used. Ingredients are laid out in a photo with progress shots.

Every recipe in this book works (I finished the last one yesterday).

There are others in the series and ordering the next ... now.

Cooking from Above-Classics is a really good book to try if someone is just starting out cooking for themselves. It's got a nice array of recipes from appetizers, side dishes, main courses, and desserts, all photographed from above step by step so you can get an idea of how it "should" look over the course of cooking. I think the strength of Cooking from Above-Classics is how well suited it is for giving an inexperienced cook a foundation to really grow in skill and discover their own personal cooking style.

There's only about 60 recipes, so it is on the shorter side. And the recipes themselves are not really all that extraordinarily great-as I said, good solid basics that pretty much anyone can achieve with a little effort and practice. A nice cookbook for a newbie, but I think more experienced cooks who have a better sense of what works for them in the kitchen will want something more advanced and nuanced. A solid three stars for a being a good 'fundamentals' type of cookbook, as well as the step by step photos, but not much more than that.
