Book Review: MORE FROM THE DELIGHTUL AND HELPFUL MIREILLE GUILIANO
Summary: 4 Stars
Following on the heels of her wildly successful "French Women Don't Get Fat ," Mireille Guiliano returns with a year's compendium of recipes, delightful personal stories, fashion hints, and hosting advice. Her writing is easy, very conversational in style. It is as if she's chatting with us across a lunch table rather than telling us what to do.
Again, we find a host of wonderful dining suggestions, this time arranged seasonally, such as a week's menu - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - offered for the cold days of winter. The weather may be frightful but we'll be warmed by Chicken Breast withTarragon for lunch and Spaghetti Carbonara for dinner or a Turkey Sandwich plus a Green Salad for lunch and Sea Scallops with Citrus Fruit for dinner.
Speaking of the winter month's Guiliano also offers suggestions for flowers to brighten those gray days whether it be an orchid plant or watching a forced bulb in its day to day progress.
Of course, when one thinks of a French woman fashion also comes to mind. The author doesn't disappoint in this area highlighting her love of scarves and the multitude of ways in which they may be worn. She gives detailed instructions as to tying and arranging.
Again she reiterates her belief in living in moderation and buying seasonal fresh foods. However, when reading her words following this advice is not only healthful but thoroughly enjoyable.
