About this title

Synopsis

We may hate to admit it (and never would to the French), but the truth is that there is still nowhere in the world where food and cooking are so passionately and intricately woven into lives, hearts and minds than in France, a country where masterpieces of home cooking are produced nightly, whether for a family supper or chic dinner party.So how does that archetypal Frenchwoman do it? With chapter titles such as 'Shops Wisely', 'Knows Her Classics', 'Steals From Chefs' and 'Rises to the Occasion', this book will tell you how. An affectionate yet unsentimental, irreverent but non-patronizing guide from one of France's top cookbook authors, Nobody Does It Better is set to steal a place on your kitchen shelf.
