Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home

Julia Child and Jacques Pépin invite you into their kitchen to show you the basics of good home cooking. In Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home, they discuss ingredients, technique, balance flavors to round out a meal, and demonstrate cooking techniques (on which they don't always agree). They share their accumulated wisdom of two lifetimes of honing their cooking skills. Nothing is written in stone, they imply. And that is one of the most important lessons for every good cook. Throughout this richly illustrated book, you'll see Julia's and Jacques's hands at work, and you'll sense the pleasure they're having cooking together, tasting, sharing ideas and raising a glass to savor the fruits of their labor.
