Includes 100+ recipes. 104 color photos. Amazon.com Review: Pleasure and practicality are combined in Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Encore with Claudine, from world-renowned chef and cooking teacher Jacques Pépin. This book, along with its prequel, Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Cooking with Claudine, is a companion to the PBS series of the same name, but they each stand on their own. Both emphasize the pleasure of cooking with and for family and friends. For this second course in daughter Claudine's culinary education, consummate teacher Pépin introduces her (and the reader) to more techniques--from basics, like how to clean salad greens or trim an artichoke, to how to bone and stuff a quail. The 110 original recipes take shape in 26 menus, each with its own chapter, complete with 4 or 5 well-laid-out recipes, some of which are accompanied by full-color photographs. The menus have different themes, with titles such as "Fall Colors Feast," "The Fish Connection," "A Graduation Party," or "The Adventurous Cook." Although the dishes often highlight Pépin's French training, they have a contemporary American feel, with their minimal ingredient list, streamlined directions, accessible ingredients, and attention to attractiveness without the fuss. Most, like Chicken with Saffron Rice, take a single page, but a few, such as the Filet of Sole in Artichoke Bottoms, will attract the more accomplished cook. For health-conscious readers, each recipe (many of which are quite light) comes with a nutritional analysis. The recipes are thorough and clearly written, all infused with Pépin's warmth and enthusiasm. They will attract any cook interested in cooking quality meals at home. --Amy Cotler Related Items:

 Rating: - Great food to make.I learn about this book when I was visiting my sisters house. SInce then Have buy it for other family members too. Rating: - The 2 books with Claudine are my favoritesI have 12 cookbooks authored by Jacques Pépin, and the two books with his daughter Claudine are my favorites. According to the introduction, the purpose of the book is to teach cooking to Claudine, who is in grad school, and has limited experience in the kitchen. These books contain many recipes which are impressive both in appearance and flavor, but are relatively easy to prepare. They are great for impressing a date, or your spouse! By the way, I had the orginal book, Jacques Pepin's Kitchen: Cooking With Claudine (Jacques Pepin's Kitchen (Television Program).) for many years before I got this one. I thought that it would be just more of the same, but they are really different enough to justify owning both. I like this one a little bit better. Now if only they would release the show on DVD. Rating: - ExcellentDelicious French cooking for the home. Chef Pepin relies on technique and not on extravagant ingredients. Each of the 26 sections in the book features a complete menu. All recipes are well explained and easy to follow, the final dishes are shown in photographs. I have tried several of the dishes and liked every single one. Some of the dishes are very simple with a nice twist, as in the Scallop and Potato Napoleons where simple baking potatoes are turned into an elegant dish, or in the Stuffed Butternut Squash where an otherwise sweet vegetable becomes piquant. Other dishes are more involved but not complicated at all. And all ingredients are readily available on farmers' markets and in grocery stores. Rating:  - A must have Book for anyone who enjoys complex flavours.A must have book for anyone who enjoys complex flavours, which not only work together, but, are staisfying, and lighter in in fat. The PBS master of French cuisine has done it again! In this Offering Jacques and (his daughter) Claudine, put together meals which are not only satisfying, but, appealing to all the senses. This is done in a manner in which the novice can accomplish, without being condescending to the more experienced home gastronome. Colourful photos, and artwork, as well as, straight forward directions, and descriptions (of both menus and ingredients), motivate the reader into the creation of a cullinary frenzy, wether it be for family, or home entertaining. This is a "MUST HAVE", for anyone who enjoys good food, with a healthy twist!
