I know how to cook cookbook
The best-selling cookbook in France for three generations, this mammoth bible of French cookery, containing over 1,400 recipes, is traditionally given to Gallic newlyweds. Now, over a decade since the author died, it\'s been translated into English for the first time, and we\'re sure it\'s going to be popping up on wedding lists up and down the UK. This is old-fashioned cooking, and the book contains many French classics plus a superb section of guest chef menus.
