review 1: Rachel is cute, and the book has a lot of photos of Rachel looking cute.There are nice stories of her adaptation to Paris and life in a small Paris apartment. And running an underground two-seat restaurant in her small apartment, and how she cooked restaurant quality food with limited cooking equipment.There are also recipes. I made one that looked really interesting. I didn't understand how it would be very tasty, but the photo looked good, and, heck, it was in her cookbook. I tried it and it was horrible. It was a sauce. We had company coming, so I added ingredients to fix it. In the end, the sauce looked nothing like the photo, but our guests liked it.Given one bad recipe, I'm not likely to try another one from this cookbook. There are plenty of cookbooks full o... moref recipes that actually work.
review 2: I like it enough to copy out some recipes for my files, but not enough to own.Recipes I've noted to try:Quatre-quarts aux agrumes*Cake au saucisson sec avec pistaches et prunes (but I'd make a vegetarian version--in fact, she says to try this with whatever leftovers you happen to have)Mousse aux éclats de chocolatRiz rouge au lait d'amandeCompotée de tomates cerise et vanilleHow to make your own vinegar: equal amounts red wine or white or champagne and organic cider vinegar in a clean jar large enough for air to circulate; cover with cheesecloth and loose lid; can be kept in a dark cupboard for 6 months*I made this on 12-30-13. I would make it again. Simple and good. less
