Rachel Khoo serves up a modern twist on classic French cookingRachel Khoo was determined to get to grips with French cooking, so to learn more she moved to Paris, not speaking a word of French, and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu, the world-famous cookery school. Six years later, she still lives and works in Paris, cooking up a selection of classic French dishes from all over the country and giving them a fresh makeover with her own modern twists. From a Croque Madame muffin and the classic Boeuf bourguignon, to a deliciously fragrant Provencal lavender and lemon roast chicken, Rachel celebrates the culinary landscape of France as it is today and shows how simple these dishes are. The 120 recipes in the book range from easy, everyday dishes like Omelette Pipérade, to summer picnics by the Seine and afternoon 'goûter' (snacks), to meals with friends and delicious desserts including classics like Crème brulee and Tarte tatin. It's a book that celebrates the very best of French home-cooking in a modern and accessible way. Real French food is no longer something only served in fancy restaurants; Rachel will show how you can add a little French culinary touch to your everyday life at home, no matter where you are in the world, or how big your kitchen is!

All recipes are really nice and mouthwatering.
Still, those recipes that can be found online are the best, and the additional ones in the book are not really worth buying the book.
However, the layout of the book is really nice, and it is well written. What I really like is that there are detailed information of why she does certain things in certain ways. For instance, she explains why she puts the chocolate lava cake in the fridge before baking and these were things I did not know before.
For someone who likes cooking with books in hand I recommend buying it. For others who check recipes online it is maybe not necessary buying it.

Well Done...Simple...Detailed...Colorful

While this book will soon be available in the U.S. minus the metric measurements, I couldn't wait after seeing the BBC series via online torrent sites. The book is not a 100 percent mirror image of the recipes you see in the show (slight little differences in recipes), but it is so very close and gives you much more detail to compliment the TV series.
Beautifully displayed with a photo of every recipe (unlike the majority books from Rachel Ray who has to be a cheap s*** and cut quality for the sake of profits), THIS Rachel went to the trouble to warn would-be chefs little hints to avoid disasters (as in her exquisite creme brûlée recipe).
Never prepared French food? Rachel includes a great 'French Basics' section in the back of the book that explains the importance of sauces and dressings and gives over 10 different recipes (Hollandaise, Mayonnaise, Bechamel, etc.). Oh, and there's a weight and temperature conversion chart in the back for those who don't want to wait for the U.S. version of this book and get on with the U.K. edition.
All in all, a great book if you want to try your hand at basic French food with a touch of British flair. Well done, Rachel Khoo!

I watched her series on TV and it was a feast for the eyes! What she can cook in that tiny Parisian kitchen is amazing. The recipes are well written, easy to follow and if she can cook them in her little oven and cooktop, then there's no excuse for anyone! Love the originality of the recipes and suggested substitutions of ingredients. The frites de legumes are a genius alternative to your standard french fries, and much healthier too. Well worth the purchase, a really beautiful book that you can lose yourself in!

I bought this book today, two hours later I cooked the mussels and my wife was very impressed I normally don't cook and I haven't cooked in years. This book is so easy it follow it literally took me 30 minutes to have a nice steaming mussels French dish on the table for dinner. I can't wait to try some other wonderful recipies from this book.
