  A must read!
  
  While I agree with the other reviewer that this is not your conventional cook book- I think it's a wonderful resource for every cook.
  
  Great for "I just saw this wonderful asparagus on the market- what's the best way to cook it?." A rare opportunity to learn from the great master book is based on an weekly column written for a French magazine over a year.
  
  Each article includes a discussion about a single ingredient- from asparagus to wild hare. Robuchon writes about history, shopping tips, proper treatment and provides a few receipes that celebrate that ingredient.

  A half-hearted attempt, that capitalizes on Robuchon's name.
  
  A large formated book with some sketch plates of shellfish, vegetables etc. Instead of a cookbook I would term the work a walk through the food classes.
  
  A noble attempt at conitinuing to educate the reader on the different ways to look at food. However, for a chef of Robuchon's quality and popularity, the reader is left with a feeling of being jipped. Not really getting any more personal cooking tips, or recipes that made him famous. This might have been a better third effort, not second. Your money is better spent elsewhere.

  A beautiful book to look at and read. I learned a bit from it and I would love to eat many of these recipes but most are very rich and many call for expensive ingredients. But I did use his mullet in olive oil on red snapper and it was quite good. I plan to do the cabbage recipe. The recipes are wonderfully simple in instructions, which was a real surprise.
