      The best all-around cookbook every written. Indispensable, if you are interested in learning how to cook with technique.

    Publishers Text

    Julia Child's masterpiece teaches the essentials by demonstration from and for a lifetime of good cooking.


    As Suzanne Hamlin wrote in the Daily News, Nobody doesn't need this book. It's Julia at her grandest, her most ebullient, her most accomplished. Wiser, more relaxed and more opinionated than ever, America's whisk-whirling mentor has given us a new Joy of Cooking - classic techniques approached with freewheeling style, accompanied by a fusillade of side notes and color photos. If you cooked everything in this book - soups to cookies - you'd be proud, learned, maybe healthy and certainly happy. What we don't know, Julia does. Don't let a child leave home without it.
