CROWN Dinner in French: My Recipes by Way of France

This should have been a lovely book - the recipe titles look enticing, photos good & the author is a good cook, BUT, despite this, it's not easy (possible?) to cook from it as it has been so badly edited. 3 different measuring systems (cups, grams & ounces) in some recipes, others where sticks are not translated into metric or imperial & generally a mess. I have many (probably over 300) US cookbooks & am happy in any of the measuring systems but the lack of consistency & the direct translation (56grams) rather than a reworking of the recipe spoils it. A great pity as the ideas are good - I would buy a 2nd edition if this were sorted properly but am returning this one.

What a lovely cook book, fully of great recipes, simple enough for an intermediary cook, nice ingredients, helpful instructions all very clear. I have cooked several recipes so far and hope to do many more

Gave this as a gift, has so many amazing recipes! Might buy one for myself! Only complaint would be that the bottom of the spine was a bit warped (probably due to shipping) when it arrived. Otherwise it arrived on time.

This was a gift for my mom . Total enjoy it.
