If you're looking for home cook versions of classical French dishes that you can prepare with a reasonable pantry, "I Know How to Cook" will get you where you're going. And, if you feel the need to cook up some skate, some venison or some teal, you can whip that up, too. I'd buy it again. “I Know How to Cook” is the comfort food version of Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”.

Disappointed that both volume AND weight measurements are not included. The editors use volume measurements only (cups/tablespoons). The British edition of this book from Amazon.uk comes with metric measurements (grams, etc), which I prefer, but I don't want to buy both editions, thus my disappointment. Recipes look wonderful. Simply explained and accessible. <br /> <br />I look forward to using this book! When I read that Clotilde Dusoulier (cook/ author of "Chocolate & Zucchini", and "Edible Adventures in Paris"/ food blogger) helped to edit and update this classic French cookbook I knew it must be good. The fact that it has sold over 6 million copies in France over the years was also a good sell. Just bought American edition of this book.

The collage illustrations throughout are a real treat. And the recipes are simple, short, so you just know what you need and what you need to do. It doesn't hold your hand by explaining everything. If you're new to cooking, this is a detraction but I don't think you'll do too badly just fumbling along as very few of these have a long list of ingredients. And the pictures are so homey, you won't be intimidated because your finished product probably will look as simple and homey as theirs. We're talking about sausage, potatoes, fish, nothing majorly difficult. And it explains the fancier sauce names so you'll remember which is which. I just want to sit and ignore everything so I can read this book from start to finish! Btw, it says this is the first time in English but the French Pocket Cookbook from the 1960s was supposedly an English translation of the same book.
