Surprisingly good, though it could use a couple of veg recipes. Absolutely worth getting from a library, even if your kitchen is only small.
There was not one single moment where I was prepared for all the things that happened during this man's life.
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.
