This cookbook can be described in a single word: charming. Pepin’s own artwork adorns the pages of his recipes, and each section is preceded by a two-page spread of his drawings and singular style of calligraphy. I can see where he gets his artistic garnishing skills from! Gorgeous photographs accompany the majority of the recipes while suggested menu combinations get the home cook off to a satisfying start. (Recipes for top-notch stocks, sauces and dressings help, too.) His desserts are all based on fruits—perfect for warm summer nights and chilly winter ones when you wish you were sitting on a beach in the tropics!
