Title: Ms Powell, your fifteen minutes are up
Review: This book does such a disservice to the memory of the great Julia Child and the many talented chefs who learned to cook from Julia's books. It is poorly written, uninteresting, sophomoric. I can't understand how more deserving authors routinely get their manuscripts turned down by publishers, but a waste of time like "Cooking Dangerously" makes it into print. I've heard it said that Julia Child was aware of Powell's blog but did not think very kindly of the venture because Powell never wrote about the food itself or about technique--she was interested only in publicity. I wish her well but hope her 15 minutes of fame are over.
Is the review positive or negative?
