She is the novice cook, he loves fine food and Reynaud pens charming anecdotes about their food adventures during the year. Their son is called Kevin, a name Reynaud says was terribly fashionable in France more than a decade ago and is now terribly unfashionable. "It's a little joke to show people that they should try to cook, even if they think they can't, and to encourage them to read the book, " Reynaud says." Just found this on t’interweb

My favourite one so far ...... "get out of the bain Marie". Brilliant!! Lol Lynn ♥ I was under the impression they were fictional characters. My favourite one so far …… “get out of the bain Marie”.

Kind regards Miles Katherine,

Marie and Leon whose exploits are documented in the little columns every few pages, who are they?! Maybe I'm missing something, or thinking that there should be more significance when more simply Stephane has just chosen a couple of characters through which to narrate, but I'm confused... Can anyone shed any light? I have just bought this book (for £30 from waterstones as I hadn’t checked amazon annoyingly!) but I’m confused….

Glad you like the book, I think it's really well made. The camera will surely open up a lot of new doors for you now, it is a great camera and will really help with the work you do. Happy snapping Lynn, Miles Lynn,

I have spent the day on and off drooling through its pages and already have mentally made and tasted at least twenty of the dishes. This has the makings of one of those books you actually USE and keep going back to. Reading your blog regularly and admiring your beautiful photographs over the last couple of weeks has also given us the push we needed to stop dithering and get a "proper" camera and a Nikon D3000 joined our household today. Billed as the perfect introductory SLR it really does what it says and I have already been snapping away - albeit well and truly in "Auto" mode for the moment!!

Being the careful spendthrift that I am, I intend to dwell a little further... then buy both :) Cid Miles,
