This is quite probably the finest and most practical modern French cookbook written for Americans. It is the first collection of recipes in English by France's leading food editor, Mapie, the Countess de Toulouse-Lautrec, the first book she has written expressly for the American housewife, demonstrating by means of 1500 remarkably clear and easy-to-follow recipes, how the Frenchwoman of today upholds the great tradition of French cuisine. This tradition of haute cuisine is, of course, well known and widely celebrated as the finest in the world. It was the tradition in which the Countess was raised. However, when she started her professional career as a food writer after World War II, it was obvious that times had changed. As she writes in her introduction: "There could no longer be any question of the haute cuisine which had been practiced in my parents' home: that required too much expense, too many difficulties, and too much time spent over a hot stove. Now what was necessary was to adapt that wonderful cooking to our times when all women work either in their homes or outside, and when domestic service is rare and expensive." Mapie's extraordinary success in adapting this classic cuisine to the needs of today's housewife has made her name a household word throughout France. She has proven to Frenchwomen, as she will to Americans, that French cooking need not be difficult and time-consuming; she has, in fact, contributed considerably to the creation of a modern French cuisine. La Cuisine de France includes many classic recipes for sauces, main courses and desserts, its special value lies in the originality and simplicity of its modern recipes a simplicity achieved, however, without making any compromise with excellence. Chapters on Sauces, Soups, Entrees, Eggs, Fish, Meat, Poultry and Game, Potatoes, Rice and Pasta, Vegetables, Salads, Desserts, Pastry and Wine. Each is filled with ideas to add elegance to any meal-from a family supper to a lavish dinner party.

Worst item ever
Color: White, Size: 16in
Set up shelves and not sturdy at all. Followed the instructions perfectly. Very poorly made. I don’t have the box and now I’m stuck with the item. Garbage can here it comes.

There are better floating shelves
Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in
Doesn’t feel very sturdy like other floating shelves I’ve bought, and they slant a little. The anchors and screws that it came with all broke so we had to get our own for it to feel more secure on the wall, but still feels wobbly. Overall, it looks good on the wall after the fact, but won’t be adding too much weight on it.

Sturdy, Easy to Set Up, and Looks Great
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I’m really happy with this RANTILA 3-panel room divider. It was simple to set up, stands securely on its own, and gives plenty of privacy. The height is perfect, and the panels look clean and modern in my space. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels sturdy. Overall, a great divider that works exactly as I needed.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.
