Title: This book is indispensable.
Review: When I was just starting out on my own, I was given a copy of The Joy of Cooking. It was my bible. Over the years I've purchased many other cook books. Eventually, I bought The Art of French Cooking. How I wish I had had a copy of this book years ago! Finally, the mystery for preparing the perfect omelet was explained, and beautiful sauces became a normal occurrence.From now on, along with a copy of Joy, I will give The Art of French Cooking, volumes I and II to those who are setting up their first kitchen. These books provide the perfect platform upon which to build a personal cooking style and repertoire.
