Everyday Cooking With Jacques Pepin
By Jacques Pepin
Harpercollins - 1982
I love this book! The recipes range from super difficult to easy, depending on how involved you want to get, but are all hearty home fare. Love the autobiographical touches to go with them. French home cooking from another era, many recipes are from his mother and grandmother. Not what you will find in restaurants! I also like that he arranges menus, so you know what will work well together. There are also step-by-step photos to help you. He also tells you how to serve the leftovers the next day in a way that is equally delicious. There are many techniques to learn here.
