Mastering the Art of... understanding Julia Childs

My parents-in-law gave me Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Childs for my birthday! I was so excited to open it and comb over every detail... and details were there for me, boy oh boy. This woman is so difficult to understand! haha. She is so particular and irregular in her instructions, it just cracks me up. And on top of that, it is so very 1960s in America in how she talks about the size of meat in the states. It's really a fantastic cookbook with so much information, but I think I'm likely to take it as generalized instruction and great background information which will lead to my own method of cooking similar dishes. So, I am starting a new tag for future recipies: "JuliaInspired" :) I can't wait to cook more!
