Query: Absolutely the best!

I received this book as a gift almost 30 years ago, when I was a bachelor simply trying to figure out which end of an egg is up! Now I am married with two grown kids and a fairly accomplished cook, having taking over those duties upon my retirement from the military. I have 40 or 50 cookbooks, including Bon Apetit, Amer. Culinary Institute, and all the other classics. But this Mastering the Art of French Cooking is number one on my list. Every step of the way, this is first book I consult when trying to figure out the best way to cook something. Buy it as a gift for an aspiring cook--it will be the cookbook they will refer to the most!
