My neighbors Charles and Patricia gave me Julia's Kitchen Wisdom for my birthday. If you know your way around the kitchen, this is the one book to have on your bookshelf. It was inspired by all the little notebooks and pieces of paper that Julia Child accumulated over all her years of cooking. Do you want to make a killer Macaroni and Cheese? Start off with a Bechamel sauce. How do you make a Bechamel? It's in the book. As are all the "mother" sauces plus practically everything you need to know to cook really well. The book's subtitle tells it all: "Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking".
I'm going to enjoy reading through it and cooking from it. Thanks C&P!!
