Industry Reviews
"The book is really about...recipes, and they are the same classic, wonderful, absolutely foolproof recipes that those of us who grew up with Julia Child know and cherish....Do we need this little book when MASTERING, THE WAY TO COOK, and others are still in print...? It all makes sense when you realize that this book was written to go with a PBS television special that pieces together bits from her old programs."

"There aren't a lot of recipes in this little book, but the ones presented are clean, classic and essential. It's home cooking in a nutshell."
