Cuisine Grand-mere Traditional French Home Cooking

It was the fare that made France the culinary capital of the world, the dishes enjoyed at French family tables -- and internationally, back before nouvelle cuisine and fast food began to undermine it. Cuisine Grand-Mere is a celebration of traditional French cooking, including all the great classic recipes along with many lesser-known treasures. Throughout are more than 50 delightful period illustrations from that wonderful age that considered even a spice label an opportunity for art.
