Title: Julia brings out the best
Review: Fortunately I had browsed this book before buying it. Otherwise I might have dismissed another "Julia" related cookbook. How much can one person offer, after all? Nevertheless, she clearly was an inspiration for the bakers who participated in this combined effort. The instructions, explanations, and pictures are not only fun to read, but they work in the kitchen. The book finds a good balance between abbreviated formulas that require a wealth of experience to bring to life, and the overly chatty and often irrelevant stream of consciousness recipe descriptions that tend to pad the pages of lesser cookbooks. Select from any ten pages, and you will find the worth of buying the book.
