can anybody help me?

i love french food and was just wondering if anybody knows any really good french cookbooks they could recommend?

I've got a few at home I could list - what difficulty level are you after?

My parents are excellent cooks, and they love the cookbook "Barefoot in Paris" written by Ina Gartin, the Barefoot Contessa. I don't know if she's on TV in the U.K., but she's great!

ooh the more difficult the better, i like a good challenge! i must admit though i do prefer cookbooks that arent just recipe books but have lots of talk in them too. something wherer they talk you through the principles behind the food would be amazing:D

we do get the barefoot contessa on uk food, i think she is pretty fantastic. oh and american iron chef is awesome!
