I’ll start by saying I will always support Julia’s work. I preordered this book and have been looking forward to its arrival! This book is a beautiful extension of Julia’s already considered, thoughtful and thought-provoking work. She clearly works alongside a talented team as the book is shot and styled in a homely, comforting, and natural way, which I think are hallmarks of Julia’s style.
This is a book which, alongside further exploring her Italian/Maltese roots, includes a strong Japanese lean. I love that Julia has found a publisher which has produced this book with both Japanese and Italian recipes. It sounds like it might be tricky to pitch that, but this is how we all live - eating an amalgamation of the food and dishes that shape our worlds.
Julia is incredibly understanding of the home cook, including cooks with children, and/or in small spaces, and/or in regional parts where access to ingredients might be a bit more of a challenge. While her seasonal ethos is a constant thread of her work, I believe these recipes are no different to those in her earlier books, in that Julia reasonably expects the cook can do his/her online supermarket order and still get the most out of this book. While that feeling of accessibility is important to us, the consumers, it is worth noting that ‘adding to cart’ from a Japanese supermarket is also in order for those cooks without stocked pantries from that part of the world. Further, Julia appeals to home cooks who lack much kitchen equipment, always favouring using her hands as her tools over anything else.
This book would make a gorgeous gift, or just a gift to self. Reading through it with a cuppa would absolutely be considered an act of self care!
