I am buying a hard copy of this book tomorrow. What a brilliant cookbook.

The cover of this doesn't really explain the full concept. Based on the cover, I thought there were 100 recipes with 3 variations for each recipe: easy, vegan, and fancy. The book actually has 100 themes/categories and three completely different recipes for each theme. For example, under the "seafood salad" category, there are:
Easy: Sardine Niçoise
Vegan: Seaweed Salad
Gourmet: Grilled Octopus Salad

French, Asian, and Greek. See what I mean? So there are 300 unique recipes in this book, plus 100 beautiful photos.

All the recipes are very classy and modern. Comfort classics are refreshed and reimagined to give them an updated bistro touch.

The only complaint I have is that there is a LOT of seafood and I am allergic to shellfish. I would sub mushrooms for shellfish but I think my husband is allergic to mushrooms. Le sigh. I'll figure something out. Also important to note that it's not really good for a budget cook since even the easy recipes frequently call for unique ingredients.

But I am going to love cooking my way through this and tackling the gourmet recipes. I hope my cooking repertoire and vocabulary expand.
