(It copes with virtually all menus that I have ever come across in French restaurants and I don"t think I have ever found it wanting. It deals with a vast variety of fish as well as game birds although I am sometimes left none the wiser since I am unfamiliar with the English version!It also deals with cuts of meat so that the subtleties between la cote, la cote premiere and la cotelette are all documented. Deserts, vegetables, methods of cooking and even some common measures are included)
