Book Reviews of Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking

Book Review: What wisdom?!
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this book purely on the strengths of Julia's previous publications, but unfortunately it was most disappointing. Readers familiar with her books will find that the content lacks both substance and quality. It's uninspiring and the layout/presentation is in desperate need of an overhaul. One would have thought that a book bearing this title would cover all the basic recipes and techniques-not so it seems. In short, I would strongly recommend all amateur cooks and gourmet fanatics to stick to her other titles.
