Chatting Books Online Year 2, Day 90. Today's recommended book is Julia Child: People Who Love to Eat Are Always The Best People and other wisdom.
Way back on Day 15 of this Chatting Books odyssey I recommended one of my favorite cookbooks of all time Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I am one of those freaks who watched Julie and Julia and became so entranced with the idea of cooking through the entire book that they immediately bought the tome and set about it. And got really far (though I made no duck and no aspics) , but really this book teaches you the basics and becomes the base of everything you cook thereafter and you meet the irrepressible Julia Child whose character comes through every page. I was entertained by old videos of Julia Child before this, I was intrigued and obsessed after. And now we have a book of her wit and wisdom. Quotes such as "Don't forget the Butter - the French NEVER do", and "Always remember if you are alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up . Who's going to know?". and "serious artist or weekend amateur, it's more fun cooking for company in company". and many other such witicisms. When I first ordered this little gift book I thought it was one I would order, read, possibly recommend but ultimately return to the shelf (I have been on a major possession purge lately you know), but alas it is a keeper so I better make room - but it is small so it's okay.
This gift sized hardcover makes the perfect gift for your cokking friends. It is 148 pages and currently sells for $18.95 a copy.
