ACROSTIC, Puzzle by Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, edited by Will Shortz
This Sunday’s acrostic draws its quotation from The Way to Cook by Julia Child.
With The Way to Cook, Julia Child created a second culinary classic. Her first, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, introduced a generation of those used to preparing simple fare to what was then considered gourmet food, demystified classic techniques, and raised our culinary consciousness. In The Way to Cook, she also demystifies cooking techniques and does some consciousness-raising. Amazon.com
The quotation: A BLOWTORCH IS NOT JUST FOR LAUGHS — IT IS A LEGITIMATE KITCHEN TOOL AND MARVELOUS FOR LOOSENING ASPICS FROM THEIR MOLDS. BUY A PORTABLE TORCH WITH AN INSTANT SELF-IGNITING NOZZLE THAT ATTACHES TO A SMALL PROPANE BOTTLE.
