Lulu's Provencal Table by Richard Olney, James Beard
Of all of the culinary treasures that Richard Olney brought home from France for his American audience, the spritely and commanding Lulu Peyraud is perhaps the most noteworthy. A second-generation proprietor of Provence’s noted vineyard Domaine Tempier, and producer of some of the region’s best wines and meals, Lulu has for over 50 years been Provence’s best-kept secret.
French Wine and Food by Richard Olney
Richard Olney, best known as a general food writer, is one of America's most erudite experts on authentic French cooking, but it's difficult to find anyone who knows much about him, except for such authorities as Patricia Wells and the late James Beard. Olney has contributed so much to French cuisine, expressing his passion for French cuisine, what it's all about in a most descriptive way  - his books are great classics.
  The French Menu Cookbook: The Food and Wine of France--Season by Delicious Season by Richard Olney, Paul Bertolli
Olney was unapologetically attracted to the style, flavors, and tastes of French cooking when most Americans were smitten by the wonders of the new prepared foods in their markets. With unrelenting passion and precision, Olney studied and explored the cuisine, carefully documenting all he had learned for future generations of chefs, cooks, and food lovers.
  Food & Wine of France: A Feast of Food & Wine by Roger Voss
As you'll discover, France is most unique when it comes to food, even though it's considered a continuing gourmand(ise) experience, especially traveling through the Regions of France.  There are twenty two Regions in all, and all twenty two Regions have unique food specialties and wines.  It is a bouquet of flavors, each Region's specialties are uniquely their own.  It is the same with their wines.  Even though the wines are quite different for each area, they are basically using the same kinds of grapes. 
  French Provincial Cooking by Elizabeth David
David studies and analyzes cooking the way a scholar analyzes literature, and, as a result, her titles are far more than just cookbooks. Along with the recipes, of which there are many, she explains at length the histories of the dishes and offers splendid advice on serving wine with the meals. Both volumes, published in 1960 and 1958, respectively, contain forewords by Julia Child. Italian Food was the author's personal favorite.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck - "Anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere,” wrote Mesdames Beck, Bertholle, and Child, “with the right instruction.” And here is the book that, for forty years, has been teaching Americans how.  Since there has never been a book as instructive and as workable as Mastering the Art of French Cooking, the techniques can be applied to recipes in all other French cookbooks, making them infinitely more usable. In compiling the secrets of famous cordons bleus, the authors have produced a magnificent volume that is sure to find a place of honor in your kitchen.
Paris in a Basket: Markets: And the People by Nicolle A. Meyer, Amanda P. Smith and Paul Bocuse - Both long time residents of Paris, Nicolle and Amanda met and teamed up for their first joint project. Sharing a mutual passion for food and memorable moments spent at markets around the world, for well over a year, they bicycled to every corner of the city, to mingle with the shoppers and vendors, and document market life.  The world renowned chef Paul Bocuse, who shares with the authors a passion for open-air markets, has written the foreword to "Paris in a Basket"
  Simple French Food by Richard Olney, James Beard
The reprinting of Olney's classic and indispensable Simple French Food offers readers the chance to learn more about this most idiosyncratic and accomplished of cooks. No pared down, paint-by-numbers recipes here: Olney is obsessed not only with showing you how to cook, but how to see, smell, feel, listen, and taste as well.
 
  The Art of Eating by Mary K. Fisher
A collection of essays by one of America's best known food writers. The book includes culinary advice to World War II housewives plagued by food shortages, portraits of family members and friends (with all their idiosyncrasies) and notes on her studies at the University of Dijon, in France. Through each story she weaves her love of food and passion for cooking, and illustrates that our three basic needs as human beings--love, food and security--are so intermingled that it is difficult to think of one without the others.

Truffles: Ultimate Luxury, Everyday Pleasure
The intimidating truffle of restaurant cuisine gets the home treat-ment in the attractive guide to using a variety of truffle products as well as the fungus itself.  Safina, president of a company that imports truffles and other foods, and food writer Sutton cogently describe the history, cultivation, and types of truffles and truffle products before presenting over 100 recipes for soups, appetizers, entrees, etc.  The explanation of truffle types and guidelines on buying are extremely useful, especially for the more affordable products like truffle butter and cheese, which may be even less well known than the fungus.
