Publisher's Synopsis
French cooking is world-renowned and so easy to learn. Most dishes are remarkably simple to prepare, and the French sauces are divine. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can make a five-star meal in minutes. The secret is in those wonderful sauces that top so many French dishes.
These recipes are a delight in themselves. Since they're so easy to prepare, you can whip up one of these sauces and top any of your favorite dishes - fish, meat or vegetables - to add a little more zest and texture. You'll love the variety too - there are some for soups and stews, others for salads, and all are delicious. These authentic French recipes are quick to make. Try them and you'll wonder how you ever managed without them. My goal is to inspire cooks of all levels to consider the great French recipes that are so simple to prepare and to give them the confidence they need to do so. Making a trip down memory lane can be an invaluable exercise for students wanting a deeper understanding of the techniques involved in cooking and for professionals making the switch from English-style cuisine. Bon Appetit!
