Guillaume: Food for Family by Guillaume Brahimi

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out! It would honestly make a great coffee table book. As far as a cookbook I would use very often–not so much. With the title “Food for Family”, I was expecting much more down to earth, but delicious food cooked for family. The back of the book even says “relaxed, easy meals designed to satisfy a household of hungry children”. Instead you get Roast Chicken with Black Truffle and Baby Kipflers, Roasted Root Vegetables with Truffle, Truffle Sandwich, Field Mushroom Veloute with Chive Emulsion and more. I doubt there was more than half a dozen recipes that I would cook.

If you love fine dining and re-creating high class, expensive food at home, you’ll love this cookbook. If you’re looking for a gorgeous coffee-table cookbook, this is a great candidate. If you’re looking for “relaxed, easy meals” for family…you might want to keep looking.

I received a copy of this book through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
