Seller's Description:
Illustrated by the Author. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket in Very Good jacket. Signed and inscribed to a named individual by Richard Olney on the title page. Clean and bright except for one light fingerprint on the foreedge of the page block and one faint gray spot on the red topstain; square, secure binding, full white cloth hard cover modestly softened and rubbed at corners and spine ends, otherwise excellent. Dust jacket bears a tiny, closed tear at the top front, lines of mild toning around the top and bottom rear, a long crease to the front interior flap, very shallow crimping at spine ends, and gentle shelfwear at spine ends and corners, otherwise clean and lovely, not priceclipped, now protected in a clear sleeve.; Signed by Author.
Like many people I think Olney's book is one of the very best cookery books available. I've had a copy for many years and its falling apart. Simple French Food is well written in an engaging style, and Olney not only communicates how to prepare food well and with respect, he often imparts why a particular dish is historically important. Many modern celebrity chefs owe their fame to rewriting Olney's work as their own. Everyone should own and use this book.

Cooks Must-Read
If you are interested in the selection, preparation and presentation of food this book is both efficient and thorough.
Olney draws distinctions between simplest and classic dishes, and gives wonderful surround to the recipes. I made his rabbit with red wine, and found it excellent. This is much more than just a French cookbook.
