Small Victories: Recipes, Advice + Hundreds of Ideas for Home Cooking Triumphs
Foreword from Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, who says, "Julia's book is like her—it's totally accessible. She explains a few unusual ingredients at the beginning, and everything else is available at the grocery store. I adore her notes for recipes like Doug's meat loaf (Doug's her dad) and ways you can 'spin-off' each recipe into your own."
