Jennifer Northington, February 1, 2007 (view all comments by Jennifer Northington)
I borrowed this book from the library, and it's quickly become apparent that I am going to need to own it. A basic recipe for just about anything you can think of, plus clear and concise explanations of common cooking techniques and their results, plus all of the wit, wisdom, and varied prose Julia Child can muster -- all put together, it makes one hell of a kitchen reference book. Indispensable for anyone who is learning to cook, or for that matter, anyone at all who cooks!
