There has never been a more French food cookbook than Let's Eat France! This book literally feels larger than life and is a feast for foodies and Francophiles. It combines the completist virtues of an encyclopedia and the obsessive visual pleasures of infographics with the unbridled joy of a lover's delight.
It includes classic recipes such as how to make a pot-au-feu, eight essential composite salads, pâté en croûte, blanquette de veau, choucroute and the best ratatouille. Profiles of French culinary icons such as Colette and Curnonsky, Brillat-Savarin and Bocuse, the Troigros dynasty and Victor Hugo. An index from region to region with the famous cheeses, meats and recipes. Poster-sized guides on the breads of France, the wines of France, the oysters of France and even the fries of France. You'll be introduced to endive, the beauty of the North; you'll discover the timeline of croissants; you'll understand the art of tartare; you'll find a table of wine bottle sizes, from the small split to the Nebuchadnezzar (the equivalent of 20 standard bottles); and you'll follow the pedigree of French sauces.
What adds to the overall enjoyment of the book is the random arrangement of the contents (a tutorial on mayonnaise is next to a list of places where Balzac ate), making every page a found treasure. It's a book you open anywhere and never want to close.
