Great recipe's and it takes you back to the origin of good cooking. It only becomes clear that the paperback is a good book but the original holds more tips and tricks and better explenation of the recipe's
 Ease of cooking. July 15, 2010

I firstly watched the film Julie and Julia which Meryl Streep. Intrigued by all the recipes she was preparing, I decided to purchase the book. I am extremely impressed with the way in which the recipes are laid out, so easy to follow. I have now prepared a few of the dishes which have come out lovely! I have also bought this book for my sister-in-law and will also buy it as a gift for friends and relatives as birthdays and christmas comes along. Something everyone would be pleased to receive!! Excellent recipe book.

One of the best cookbooks I have bought. What I really like is the step by step guide which makes even the most daunting recipe seem to be within my experience! Not to be missed, even without the fancy photographs, which, in my opinion, are just that, fancy!
If you read nothing else read this if you want to learn how to cook June 5, 2010

I first purchased this as a student back in the 60's and have never really looked back.
An endless source of inspiration and technique but not written in quite the chatty style that modern cookbooks have adopted, the first volume is in my opinion better than the second - but that is probably just my personal preferences.
Unlike many cookbooks, all of these recipes work and have obviously been tested by the authors - don't you hate it when a recipe omits a vital step or ingredient or just doesn't work?
Without doubt the finest cookbook ever written.
