Synopsis:

In this indispensable volume of kitchen wisdom, Julia Child gives home cooks the answers to their most pressing cooking questions—with essential information about soups, vegetables, eggs, baking breads and tarts, and more.

How many minutes should you cook green beans? What are the right proportions for a vinaigrette? How do you skim off fat? What is the perfect way to roast a chicken?

Here Julia provides solutions for these and many other everyday cooking queries. How are you going to cook that small rib steak you brought home? You''ll be guided to the quick sauté as the best and fastest way. And once you''ve mastered that recipe, you can apply the technique to chops, chicken, or fish, following Julia''s careful guidelines.

Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom is a perfect compendium of a lifetime spent cooking.
