Customer Reviews

Great book!
Delicious, reliable recipes. You can pretty much trust CIA to put out a great cookbook. The recipes are easy-hard, depending on your food knowledge.

Don't forget a pinch of common sense
The beautiful pictures in the book sometimes do not coincide with the recipes. The sticky buns have pecans on top, but in the recipe the pecans are only in the center. Make sure you use at least a 12" skillet for the 16 egg frittata, the book only says large and the picture is deceiving. Have extra grated cheese (actually grate don't use a microplane) on hand for the gougeres and the paillettes. The book is really wonderful as a gift for a friend or for yourself.

Very nice book
I saw this book for sale at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. My sister really wanted to buy it, but I told her I could find it cheaper on Amazon.com - and that is what we did. It is almost like new!
