First published in 1932, Je sais cuisiner has been a best-seller for three generations. It is a household must-have, and a well-thumbed copy can be found in kitchens throughout France. The book has sold more than 6 million copies and its author, Ginette Mathiot , was the queen of French domestic cooking. During her long career she published more than 30 recipe books, and Je sais cuisiner is her magnum opus. It is now available for the first time in English as I Know How to Cook.
