With Julia Child's the French Chef cookbook?
I just picked it last night at Barnes and Noble because it was on sale for $10. And man oh man I am inlove. It was based on her 60's TV show, before butter was a bad thing hehe. The modern preface admits it did not change anything, but suggests eating smaller portions and maybe after you've tried that once cut out some of the cream, etc.
Every meat, chicken and fish dish has a sauce with plenty of stock and butter or cream for the sauce. To go with the fattening sauce they always recommend vegetables slathered in butter or EVOO or homemade mayo dressed salads. Even some of the desserts can be TF adapted...I saw a recipe for an apple custard that sounds delicious...just blend cooked apple slices with eggs, cream, cinnamon and then you can substitute a dash of maple syrup, honey or rapadura for the sugar. It does call for white rice and white french bread but those things can easily be substituted.
Every meat dish has a wine suggestion and one menu for a dinner for four said "follow with a brisk walk after dessert"! That's just too cool.
I'm going to have way too much fun now. Lucky for me my Dad trained under French Chefs, so these things aren't too foreign for me. He is rediscovering them himself though now that he and my Mom are getting into TF (the Maker's Diet for them) and enjoying the rich, nourishing sauces the lowfat craze had turned him against.
