James J. MacGuire and Ronald L. Wirtz have labored long and lovingly to present the Professor's generous spirit as well as his words, and have also included special information on North American ingredients, especially flours, where they differ from the French. This is essential reading-a real treasure-for anyone interested in this very special craft." </p> <ul> <p></p></ul> <p>- Julia Child, Author of <em>Mastering the Art of French Cooking</em></p> <ul> <p></p></ul><br>
