I can highly recommend this book. If you're a beginner at cooking but you want to impress people then this book is really for you! I'm really a novice when it comes to cooking. Whenever I announced that I wanted to cook at home then suddenly everybody said they would be busy and couldn't come home to eat...Even worse, I'm in love with a boy who is really picky at eating because his mum is really an excellent cook. As soon as I moved in with him, I immediately went to amazon and ordered about 10 cooking books because I think without help from a fabulous chef I can never catch up with his mum. ("a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself."). This book is the one that I turn to most often. Whenever I follow Jacques Pepin's recipes correctly (without skipping some steps) then my food is really tasty. I now can impress my family, my boyfriend, his friends and even his mum :))) Million thanks to Jacques Pepin!!!! Oh by the way, I have to advocate that the food doesn't require much time to prepare. I think it takes me longer to read than implementing the recipe...I'm waiting for Amazon to ship More Fast food my way to my door :)))

I'm a huge fan of Jacques Pepin but can't help but feel that this book and corresponding PBS show were hastily thrown together to try to capitalize on the success that the hyper-kinetic chipmunk better known as Rachael Ray was having over on the food network.
Merci Jacques! WOW! July 26, 2008
Last night had friends for dinner and cooked the cod with walnut and cilantro sauce. Dinner for 6 took about 40 minutes to make, looked incredible but the best is that the taste was simply outstanding! We entertain often, so cooking quickly is important but so is high quality and taste. I cannot recommend this enough... and check out his other books too. they are outstanding.
the best yet June 15, 2008
this is the best recipe book I have used so far.I have loved everything I have made from this book Jacques Pepin truly has made cooking fun and enjoyable. And the best part is that he included all the recipes I have watched him do on the PBS channel. Worth every penny spent.
 Pepin is the best.... May 15, 2008
Julia is not with us any more, Pepin does a great job of making 'gourmet' cooking approachable. His passion for cooking and good food is clear, without the gimmicks celebrity chefs use.
