I liked the French Women Don't Get Fat Book, and the cookbook is nice too, but the recipes call for some ingredients that I don't usually use - lots of them call for creme fraiche - and I can sub sour cream for that, but it seems rather fattening to me - and I realize the author stresses small quantities of yummy food, but still. She also highly recommends the champagne that she is CEO of the company for. I found that in the store recently. Waaay above my budget. Maybe she can send me a free sample? Some interesting recipes throughout the book; I haven't read the original book, but I would have liked to see a little bit more of that sprinkled throughout the recipes. There were no images in this cookbook either, but most of the recipes were either on one page or across a 2-page spread for easy reference. The "Magic Breakfast Cream" is something I had while in France - variations of this seem to be popular throughout Europe.
