For me this book is a trip down memory lane. The recipes in it are nice, but even better are the stories and pictures that form the background. I have expanded my amount of recipes and compared the ones I had (form locals) with the ones that I found here.

I will make the rabbit terrine for New Years Eve. It is a beautiful book.

The only sad part of this book is that, while I picked it up for $10 in the B&N bargain bin, someone else had clearly looked through it and bent all the pages. The cover doesn't quite close anymore.
