Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Julia Child has given us answers to these and other questions in the ten masterful volumes she has published over the past 40 years. But which book do you go to for which solution? Now, in this little volume, you can find the answers immediately.

Information is arranged according to subject matter, with ample cross-referencing. How are you going to cook that small rib steak you brought home? You'll be guided to the quick saute as the best and fastest way. And once you've mastered this recipe, you can apply the technique to chop, chicken, or fish, following Julia's careful guidelines.

Synopsis:

Delicious, priceless, and comforting, this book is arranged according to subject matter, with ample cross-referencing. 8 photos, 4 in full color.
