Call us shallow, (actually, please dont) but we often pick books on the
merit of their cover.
What can we say, were suckers for pretty things.
I
Know How to Cook ($49.95) by Ginette Mathiot practically leaps
off the shelf its so charming. Similarly, the images inside (by French
illustrator Blexbolex) are simply gorgeous.
From a simple omelet to a coq au vin and a crepe suzette, the recipes in
this translated French classic are délicieux and
easy-to-follow.
In one cake recipe, the instructions even finish with the useful note:
"turn off the oven."
Handy advice for kitchen clumsies like us.
I Know How to Cook is available at Good Egg, 267 Augusta Ave.,
