  I don't know that I'll do a lot of cooking from this book but it's been an entertaining and funny read.

    This recipe sounded so intriguing, but it suffered in the (lack of) copy-editing. Having been told to poach the onions with the chicken, you're then told to chop and fry them while the chicken is cooking! And the turnips in the ingredients list are never referred to again. The result was OK (roast chicken with walnut sauce) but it wasn't the "completely novel gastronomic sensation" promised by Pomiane.

• Spinach salad with hard-boiled eggs

    Like many of the recipes included in this book, this is a recipe cut back to the basics. This is very useful to emphasize the part of a salad that must absolutely be right ... then one can begin adding additional ingredients.
