Title: Textbook Not a Cookbook
Product review: This is not a book for the typical home cook. It is basically a dictionary of classical dishes. The recipes are cryptic - there are no measurements to follow. It can be frustrating at times to put together a dish because the index is incomplete and most of the recipes refer to another recipe somewhere else in the book (which is then difficult to find). Does anyone really cook this way anymore any way? Tons of butter and cream - classical French. This book was used as the Text for a Classical Cuisine class at our Community College and 80% of the students sold it back to the bookstore once the semester ended.
