This is the book we`ve all (certainly every woman between 25 & 75) been waiting for. It is classy, chic, convincing, funny, wise, well-written & very timely. It`s the ultimate non-diet book, which nonetheless shows us how to eat with balance, control & above all pleasure. Chuck out all the radical diet books, think about what you eat & why, & then enjoy eating the right things (and some of the wrong ones) intelligently, & in smaller portions. Eat, like a French woman, with your head not your stomach. Guiliano, French-born & bred, gets the tone absolutely right. She succeeds in that rare high-wire act of being really serious about her subject but without taking herself too seriously; manages to encourage & inspire & amuse, without being bossy or earnest. This is a book that will make you laugh out loud & yet have you following several of her practical precepts within days
- everyone who reads it becomes evangelical (French women don`t go to the gym, they climb the stairs). It combines just the right balance of memoir, wisdom, wit, delicious recipes, & French common sense.
