In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs

Additional Details

Description: Cooking with the twenty-six chefs who, one by one, performed in her kitchen in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for her new television series, Julia was able to sample the wonderful variety of flavors they brought to her and to analyze and question everything that went into each dish. 

Now she brings us all those recipes (and many more), carefully translated for the home cook so that we can reproduce for friends and family the exciting diversity that is American cooking today.
