Chef Pat says: "I have selected and written the recipes in this cookbook with much thought and admiration for the home cook. These recipes are creative, without being overly complex.
"Basic soups and gumbos as well as rib roast of beef and demi glace run the gamut from home style to haute cuisine.
"As a grand finale I have included a section of savvy items such as edible containers, edible flowers and garnishes. Enjoy! Country food with a French passion!"
