Description

"" Good Food "Full of gorgeous Gallic dishes, both old and new... perfect for treating yourself to a little bit of luxury without the side serving of guilt" Red "This is French food without tears, classic brasserie dishes which have been given a stealthy makeover to cut down the calories before arriving sylph-like at the table, but without losing any of their flavour. Magnifique, n'est ce pas? And, 'ow you say, totally irresistible" Daily Mail
