Book Reviews of In Madeleine's Kitchen

Book Review: An excellent guide to modern French cooking.
Summary: 5 Stars

In these dark days of broccoli pesto, "roasted vegetables", and everything swimming in balsamic vinegar, In Madeleine's Kitchen offers readers a return to the soul of good cooking in the French tradition: techincally adept but not gimmicky, tasty but not obtrusive. The book is organized by course (soups, meats, vegetable dishes, etc.) and is all recipes and technical information. It's gloriously free of the huge glossy photos and decorative filler found in other books. It contains recipes for terrines, duck confit, petits fours and other typically French foods, but also has a distinct modern touch and is appealing to North American readers. There's no fat-hysteria either. As always, one of the pleasures in her book is her style and occasional reminiscences about growing up with this kind of food. Good for serious amateurs and professionals.
