About the Author:

Les Soeurs Scotto, Marianne Comolli, Elisabeth Scotto and Mich�le Carles have worked together for the past ten years creating recipes for a variety of French magazines including Vital, Cosmo, Cuisine et Vins de France and Gault Millau. They have also published a number of cookbooks, and have been passionate about cooking since their childhood. The Scotto sisters are constantly experimenting, adapting their favorite traditional recipes to suit today's styles and tastes -- their great interest being in traditional and modern French cuisine.

From Publishers Weekly:

Though at first glance too luscious for the pots, pans and grease stains of the kitchen, this opulently illustrated oversize volume--travel book as much as recipe collection--can function there admirably, seducing the hungry and the restless. The latest in the publisher's series of regional cookbooks (others on Italy, China and Asia have preceded it), it will keep readers turning pages even if they never pick up a saucepan. Chapters alternate between discussing the different regions of France and offering a good selection of traditional recipes. French-born authors and cooks Marianne Comolli, Elisabeth Scotto and Michele Carles reflect on the history and geography of France with appetizers from Provence, entrees from Lyonnais and desserts from Anjou. This is hearty, not haute , cuisine: well-organized recipes are scaled for the average cook, who won't have to go in search of rare ingredients or spend hours chopping and mincing. Les soeurs Scotto make use of blenders and food processors when needed.
