Product Description Cuisine mei wenti cookbook is aimed at getting potential cooks to ditch the fast food habit and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore the goal is to dispel the myth that French cuisine is to difficult to master and too expensive. Rubbishing the view that French food is laden with butter and cream, I introduce in this book southern French-style recipes which are healthy, easy to prepare and affordable. The cookbook provides recipes that have been honed by the feedback from more than 200 students. Mostly southern recipes that I have given a Mediterranean twist, the book also contains helpful tips (useful for beginners like maids) and provides a basic guide to Western cuisine with instructions on how to set the table, how to prepare main vegetables, a shopping list... The format of the book (similar to a calendar) is original and very practical to keep in the kitchen. You'd love it! Review Simple French food without the myths!
