MA CUISINE

I met a guy back in the 1980's who we nicknamed 'the chef' - he was able to make a fantastic meal from even the most basic ingredients evening after evening and had such a natural touch when it came to imaginative sauces and presentation I thought "this is the guy I should ask about cooking". He recommended ma cuisine as the best cook-book in the world and told me the recipies contained in it were collected as the author travelled all the regions of france collecting traditional recipies. I can't help but agree - any self-respecting kitchen should have a copy - even if it only comes out once a year it'd be well worth it. If any kitchen you are fond of doesn't have it - an ideal gift!
