 Cooking For Kings Has anybody checked out Cooking For Kings? It is Ian Kelly's account of Careme's life. Just wanted some input before I plunk down $26. Thanks!

 Cooking for Kings - If you love food, get it!!!!!! It's fantastic - a real whirlwind of a journey through revolutionary France, the dining tables of the Prince Regent and Napoleon. I couldn't put it down! Well worth every penny. |

| I got it for a birthday gift....was OK....would not have paid $26 for it. It was interesting to read how the Russians had fresh produce available from green houses in the middle of THEIR winter. The menus were interesting, the descriptions of various kitchens were interesting.....but read like a gossip magazine, not alot of depth. Jacque Pepin's bio was interesting also, I learned alot about him as well as the adaptation of the American food industry....it was a interesting picture of bygone French kitchens. |
