ReviewsReviews:"[A] book that I adore and that was my mentor in my early days in France. . . . It was a carefully thought-out, very personal book, and one had complete confidence in what she had to say. . . . I still love it." -Julia Child (Simple Cooking, "Reminisces," 1989) "It would be difficult to overestimate the service rendered to monolingual English and American cooks by the translation of this massive, instructive, and, in its way, very funny book." -Gourmet "This warhorse of French cookery . . . is a proudly hidebound volume on the (Thoroughly French) Right Way to Cook. . . . The book reads like The Joy of Cooking for the dominatrix set. Still, it's hard not to love a writer with such dramatic flair." -Bon Appetit "If you want to add one new definitive cookbook to your larder, we suggest the English edition of LA BONNE CUISINE. . . . This is the tome that got Julia Child cooking as a postwar bride in Paris." -Los Angeles Magazine "[T]his magisterial translation offers a window into a bygone moment in French life and is a testament to the enduring joy of cooking with cookbooks." -Publishers Weekly Starred Review "The gift for the serious cookbook lover who has everything. . . . [T]he go-to manual of the French home kitchen." -San Francisco Chronicle "[A] tidy how-to treatise on traditional (and ambitious) home cooking by a working mother in Paris in the first half of the 20th century." -New York Times Magazine "[A] fascinating work, at once an encyclopedia of the basic techniques o cooking and a snapshot of French cuisine as it existed in the early 20th century." -Los Angeles Times "[A]n important book for both food lovers and cooks, with fine explanations of exactly how to prepare the classic French dishes we Americans already love (and a few not yet discovered)." -Traditional Home "A lasting feast for your foodie friends." -Budget Living "One of the most detailed, interesting, well-written, and technically proficient books for the French home cook. . . . I learned one hundred times more from it than I did from Escoffier and other great chefs." -Madeleine Kamman "Julia Child . . . had been much influenced by Mme. Saint-Ange, who in the 1920s wrote step-by-step instructions that guided French women through the intricacies, and also the simplicities, of cuisine bourgeoise." -Corby Kummer, The Atlantic "Finally, this great book has been translated. My French edition has lost its cover from thirty years of almost constant use. LA BONNE CUISINE DE MADAME E. SAINT-ANGE is filled with good sense, logic, and boundless information about the world's best home cooking, and it is deeply grounded in the traditions and techniques that define a great cuisine. It's not just a book of recipes, but helps us master a subtle and immensely satisfying art." -James Peterson, author of Sauces "LA BONNE CUISINE DE MADAME E. SAINT-ANGE is the first French blockbuster written by a woman cook, and it remains my favorite. Saint-Ange has a turn of phrase and a depth of culinary knowledge that have rarely been equaled. At first glance her book appears inordinately long, but she carries us without faltering. Some recipes may take a couple pages of dense print to explain, but at the end you know you will emerge triumphant, with perfection on the plate." -Anne Willan, founder of École de Cuisine La Varenne "Among its many treasures, this marvelous book offers as clear a picture as we can ever hope to get of the workings of the French home kitchen at a time when the meals that came from it were justly the pride of France.

An absolute culinary classic
Mme. Saint-Ange most certainly deserved all the fame, credit and plaudits that have accrued to her in her native France. She is punctilious in explaining not only what needs to be done in order to accomplish a certain culinary end, she also explains (and in depth) how it is to be done, and most importantly of all, why it must be done if good (nay, perfect) results are to be routinely achieved. This translation makes her work accessible to Anglophones who are not also Francophones.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
