When French Women Cook

The famous French cook Madeleine Kamman wrote the most charming memoir published in 1976 (Ten Speed Press) about her gastronomic childhood in France entitled "When French Women Cook." It is a series of remembrances of significant women in Madeline's life who happen to express the essence of the French method of cooking in each of the eight main culinary regions of France they lived in. It is an exceptional journey through what cooking once was - and what is should be about in spirit today.
