review 1: This book makes me angry every summer when I come home to Kansas after 3 months feasting in France. Mireilled Guiliano may have gained 20 lbs as a teen eating chocolate-chip cookies and brownies in the U.S., but I gain ten pounds EVERY summer in France. It's all so incredibly yummy--such depth and subtlety of flavor in every recipe, and such variety at every meal. All washed down with the most delectable wines. How can anyone not get fat?I used to go to WEight Watchers in Bergerac (named after the swashbuckling lover), and believe me, there were lots of "rondes" there. I really like Guiliano's book, but I don't think she was playing fair. Plus, she should know that there are chocolate chip cookies and brownies for sale at most big weekly markets.
review 2: I en... morejoyed Mireille Guiliana's first book "French Women Don't Get Fat" but this cookbook seemed like a stale collection of her anecdotes from the original book, with some recipes thrown in. Since I read her other book, I tired of hearing the tale of how American carbohydrates made her fat and French leek soup saved her waistline. While it offers up a sensible eating plan (fresh, healthy, homemade, smaller portions) it offers nothing new. After waxing poetic for an indulgent number of pages about her glamourous aunt's secret recipe for "summer diet breakfast creme" only to find out that the secret recipe is your basic yogurt and fruit I decided I'd had my fill of "French Women." less
