My husband gave me this book for Christmas 2013 and I love it !!! This is also my favorite with the "reference food" Michel Maincent !! It is very complete, very clear by the numerous pictures stepper. If you have only one book, it is this one! Also recipes presented do not require wacky ingredients hard to find, which is rare these days in beautiful cookbooks. I already realized full of recipes since I have and I've never been disappointed, on the contrary! In short, I highly recommend it
