This is quite probably the finest and most practical modern French cookbook written for Americans. It is the first collection of recipes in English by France's leading food editor, Mapie, the Countess de Toulouse-Lautrec, the first book she has written expressly for the American housewife, demonstrating by means of 1500 remarkably clear and easy-to-follow recipes, how the Frenchwoman of today upholds the great tradition of French cuisine. This tradition of haute cuisine is, of course, well known and widely celebrated as the finest in the world. It was the tradition in which the Countess was raised. However, when she started her professional career as a food writer after World War II, it was obvious that times had changed. As she writes in her introduction: "There could no longer be any question of the haute cuisine which had been practiced in my parents' home: that required too much expense, too many difficulties, and too much time spent over a hot stove. Now what was necessary was to adapt that wonderful cooking to our times when all women work either in their homes or outside, and when domestic service is rare and expensive." Mapie's extraordinary success in adapting this classic cuisine to the needs of today's housewife has made her name a household word throughout France. She has proven to Frenchwomen, as she will to Americans, that French cooking need not be difficult and time-consuming; she has, in fact, contributed considerably to the creation of a modern French cuisine. La Cuisine de France includes many classic recipes for sauces, main courses and desserts, its special value lies in the originality and simplicity of its modern recipes a simplicity achieved, however, without making any compromise with excellence. Chapters on Sauces, Soups, Entrees, Eggs, Fish, Meat, Poultry and Game, Potatoes, Rice and Pasta, Vegetables, Salads, Desserts, Pastry and Wine. Each is filled with ideas to add elegance to any meal-from a family supper to a lavish dinner party.

Lightweight and practical for carrying just the essentials
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (001) Black / / White
This waist bag is super practical and lightweight, perfect for days when I don’t want to carry a full purse. The fabric feels sturdy and the zipper works smoothly, nothing cheap or flimsy. It actually fits more than it looks phone, keys, lip balm, small wallet all organized without feeling bulky. The strap adjusts well and stays in place, and it’s comfortable to wear crossbody or around the waist. It’s definitely more for essentials than for carrying a lot, but for quick errands, walks, gym or travel it’s perfect. Clean design, good quality, and easy to match with any outfit.

Great Bag
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (025) Castlerock / Black / Black
Plenty of space even for my book on the plane. No more need for a personal item. I will say that I made the mistake of hanging my hands on the belt bag and tweaked the muscles in my neck from that. Great durable back though. I paid around $20-25
