The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook

I just received this book yesterday specifically from Amazon (not a third party seller). The book was sent with other books I had purchased and placed into one box. The box was small, which is okay since Amazon usually uses huge boxes for a single small item sometimes. However, the box was too small for this book. The book was bent in the box and because it was bent, the glue that holds the spine was pulling the cover away from the first few pages. Also a couple pages were stuck together. However, my biggest complaint was that the paperback edition is all in black and white! If I would have known that I would have spent the extra $ for the hardcover edition to have color. No where in the description does it mention the item is black and white (at least what I can see). Also the "Look Inside" view shows color. There are images on every page of this book and now I feel like I can't enjoy it as much because of the lack of color.This review is nothing against the cookbook or recipes themselves. The recipes do sound great and I can't wait to begin cooking some of them.

Disastrous recipes. Liked her other books but when it comes to recipes I feel she must of drank too much wine. One recipe called for honey and lemon mixture - a total atrocity to flavor , maybe sugar but not honey. Do not recommend for a cookbook. I’ll stick with Julia Child.

I have the "French Women Don't get Fat" book and there are a few recipes in it that look very tasty. But this book as very food recipes that I would actually fix. Could be just me but they appear way to fancy.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this cookbook! I have owned my copy for a couple of years now and can honestly say that each and every recipe I have tried is delicious. It is obvious that Ms. Guiliano included recipes that are "tried and true" and will delight many palates. There are many recipes that are included within this cookbook that are not available on her website so please know that you will be getting new recipes if you decide to buy a copy of this book for your collection.Please try her recipe for "Haricots Verts Salad with Peaches and Almonds" or even her recipe for "Endive with Green Tomato Jam" and you will be thankful you bought this book. The "Butternut Squash Soup" recipe is the best I have ever tried, and her smoothie recipes are delicious and refreshing. The "Goat Cheese and Hazelnut Tartines" are topped with honey and fresh rosemary and were a big hit when I made them for a small get together. I can't wait to work my way through this entire book!

Wonderful cookbook that has given me great recipes and lots of inspiration. I read the original book written by the author and found Mireille's thoughts regarding Americans' eating habits to be insightful. Being French, she has a different viewpoint and she made sense. I applied some of her suggestions to my diet and found that she was correct so I was glad when she produced this cookbook. A definite staple in my collection.

I got this cookbook from my local library one time and I did one or two recipes from it, but I found that I just might have to go and get one for myself!I've read her first book, the French Women Don't Get Fat, and I just love it. I love her personality and her piquant style, and I would like to follow the French way of living and eating, and wanted to kick-start it with getting her cookbook. I'm going to enjoy it a lot, I can tell!The recipes are easy to read and easy to follow, and I think it would be easy for many different levels of cooking ability to have fun in the kitchen with this delightful cookbook!

I bought this book because I enjoyed her other one so much. I'm a very lazy cook and don't know if I'll ever use any of these recipes.

My wife read the book, FRENCH WOMEN DONT GET FAT and I bought her the accompanying cookbook. The recipes are easy and delicious. She had enjoyed both books a lot.

This book has quickly become a favourite in our house and the recipes have proved to be so good a friend actually wanted the recipe herself! The meals are simple and fresh and taste amazing while being so easy to cook that it doesn’t feel stressful. Highly recommend to anyone.

Some great advice in this book and regular French snippets to improve your basic French. Wasn't too keen on the majority of French recipe ideas, but it does have a handful of good ones. The process is straight forward and if followed would greatly improve anyone's quality of living a healthy life.

some lovely looking recipes to go along with the theory. I will definitely be trying these out. The book also describes Mireille's theory for how to stay slim which is good. I will be following this in the New Year to get rid of the Christmas excess!

Really interesting ideas. Enjoying reading.

Great book. I have already read so many books about healthy lifestyle. But it's always good to read it again and again from time to time. The recepies are very good. Recommended to anyone who appreciate good food and want to stay chic whole life.
