Instructive, loving and entertaining.
I believe that this is a most entertaining, well researched, addition to the collection of any fan of even one of these authors. Mind you; this by someone who has read all six of them, basically learned to cook from Julia Child, cooked entire menus from Richard Olney etc.I am not what you would call objective.
