There is not much that I can add to the reviews already written, but as an admitted Francophile, I wanted to put my 2 cents in. As all have stated, this is an incredible book, not just of French cooking, but a slight peek into the French way of living and thinking. Obviously, Ina loves Paris, and all that is French, and you get that feeling as she deviates from strictly recipes, and goes into the various nuances of French life.

Those nuances are scattered throughout the book and peppered (no pun intended) in the introductions to her recipes. The photography and food styling is excellent as usual, and as long as you aren’t expecting a Jacque Pepin or Julia Child style of French cooking, then you will enjoy Ina’s more simple, peasant-style fare. She talks about the visual preparation of the French table and all the ways that you can make your dining experience as simple, fresh, and carefree as the dishes. And for those who are fellow "Parisians", she guides you through the streets and markets of Paris and gives you a tour of sorts, of that magical city.

Ina Garten has given us a new book on `cuisine bourgeois’, and one immediately wonders if the world really needs another book on everyday French cooking, since we already have great works from Julia Child and Elizabeth David, excellent works from Patricia Wells and Richard Olney, and hundreds of others, including an excellent volume from Garten’s mentor, teacher Lydie Marshall, author of the excellent book `A Passion for My Provence’. The questions become doubly appropriate with the recent appearance of Food Network colleague Tony Bourdain’s really excellent book of bistro recipes, `Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook’. To complete the picture of my general skepticism about book is the fact that Ms. Garten’s book lists at a higher price than Bourdain’s book, yet it has substantially fewer recipes and none of Monsieur Bourdain’s really excellent tutorials on cooking technique. Yet, here is the key to Ms. Garten’s enterprise and audience.

Ina Garten has no intention of emulating Julia Child in her writing or even in her TV shows. She is squarely in the tradition and style of Martha Stewart. Like Stewart, she started in the culinary business as a caterer and she was, for many years, a major contributor of culinary material to Martha Stewart’s magazine. All you need to do is compare the design of Garten’s books with either Bourdain’s book or even Julia Child’s books, and the difference is evident. Bourdain limits himself to pictures of dishes and series of pictures illustrating culinary techniques. Garten pictures lots of dishes, but she also pictures lots of pottery, table settings, and flowers as well. Each chapter has a prelude on marginally culinary matters.
