La Cuisine Everyday French Home Cooking Françoise Bernard

1,000 simple recipes that makes French cooking accessible. In excellent used condition. Light wear on the dust jacket edges. Hardcover with dust jacket. 2010. 648 pages. From the publisher: Beginning in the 1960s, Bernard revolutionized French cooking by writing cookbooks aimed at the modern woman. Until that time, the only cookbooks available were full of fussy recipes handed down by the grand chefs of the past. Bernard set out to make classic dishes accessible to everyone, paring down to a recipe’s true essence. Each recipe is labeled with degree of ease, prep/cooking time, and cost. The book overflows with charmingly homey recipes that take you back to the basics: onion soup, croque mignon, steak au poivre, coq au vin, tuna provençale, and potatoes boulangère.
