French food has never gone out of style, in fact many of the dishes we love the most are French so it's wonderful to see them all gathered here in one book. French starts with an illustrated glossary of essential French ingredients - those things you cannot do without if you're cooking French food. The recipes are for drinks, hors d'oeuvres, entrees, mains, vegetables as a separate course, salads, desserts and after-dinner treats, including petits fours. It's a genuine tour de force.
