I Know How to Cook

Sitting next to the bouquet garni and the cassoulet dish, this is the cookbook you’ll find in just about every kitchen in France. Meant to be used for everyday cooking, the recipes are basic, few being longer than one paragraph. And the book is gorgeous. For the cook who wants to put earthy, delicious, easy-to-make French meals on the table.- Karen

I’ve always been nervous about wearing perfume, but with this book in hand, I may just brave the first-floor aisles of Bloomingdale’s without taking defensive olfactory measures. This handy guide rates hundreds of perfumes and the introduction tells you what to look (or smell) for. And the authors are very funny – I ended up flipping through the book searching for the hilarious one star reviews. Perfect for the fragrant lady in your life looking for a new scent.- Karen
