About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" -- Entertainment Weekly "I only wish that I had written it myself." --James Beard Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine. Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes--from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations--bound to increase anyone's culinary repertoire. "Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term 'haute cuisine.' She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." --Thomas Keller, The French Laundry

Amazing!
This cookbook has so much helpful, interesting information along with marvelous recipes! And I just want to make everything in it! Their attention to detail makes the directions so clear you can't really go wrong. It's no wonder Julia Child and her co-authors had such a huge impact on American cooking.

Classic French Cooking by an American Grand Dame
True, this style of cooking now sounds a little dated by our modern perspective. Nonetheless what Julia Child wrote and taught about in her textbook of French Preparation remains at the same time utterly timeless. Carefully written in a style easy to follow, and confidence building. Every serious home cook needs to be acquainted with the principles and techniques espoused here - even if they choose not to cook this exact style. Know that there is also a second volume that makes frequent reference to this first volume.

A must have cook book for serious cooks!
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is a classic cook book, that introduced our country to the fine cooking of the French. I read the biography, "My Life in Paris" by Julia Child which detailed the writing of this cook book and just had to have it. As a gourmet hobby cook, I've got about 30 cookbooks and love to learn about cooking. It is truly a step by step book. Get the 40th Anniversary Edition, that was updated in 2001, so that the recipes are relevant to todays cooking tools, like a food processor. After 35 years of cooking, I recently made the best eggs ever! Since I am always watching my weight/health, and the recipes are usually with cream and butter, I make these recipes for dinner parties and special occasions.
