Subtitle in pre-publication: Recipes, advice + ideas for cooking at home.

Includes index.

Becoming a confident cook means mastering one delicious thing at a time, taking pleasure in each small victory. That's the gift Julia Turshen shares here, and it's one she has learned from her rich life in food. After preparing thousands of meals for bestselling cookbooks and as a private chef all over the world, she knows that celebrating the small achievements is the sure way to become a comfortable, intuitive, and inventive cook. Small Victories puts all those years of learning into your hands, no matter how new to cooking or how practiced you are. In these pages, Julia shares not only more than 95 recipes but also hundreds of recipe variations and many more lessons to demystify the process of truly great cooking. (Try adding a few drops of water to your egg-cooking pan to create perfectly runny yolks without undercooked whites, or boiling potatoes before roasting them for the crispiest exterior.) Not one for fads or flashy techniques, Julia teaches the basic lessons of cooking and the endless inspiration that flows from even one small victory. And her recipes are delicious.
