About this product

Product Information

For over fifty years, New York Times bestseller Mastering the Art of French Cooking has been the definitive book on the subject for American readers. Featuring 524 delicious recipes, in its pages home cooks will find something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine, from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Here 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. 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. With over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking deserves a place of honor in every kitchen in America.

Praise for Julia Child and Mastering the Art of French Cooking "Has it really been 40 years since Julia Child rescued Americans from dreary casseroles? This reissue, clad in a handsome red jacket, is 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 "Julia Child paved the way for Chez Panisse and so many others by demystifying French food and by reconnecting pleasure and delight with cooking and eating at the table. She brought forth a culture of American ingredients and gave us all the confidence to cook with them in the pursuit of flavor." --Alice Waters, Chez Panisse " Mastering the Art of French Cooking was one of my first introductions to my foundation of understanding the art of French cooking. The combination of reading Julia's book, working in the kitchen, and watching her television shows helped lead me to my beginnings in serious cuisine. Julia is . . . the grande dame of cooking, who has touched all of our lives with her immense respect and appreciation of cuisine." --Emeril Lagasse, Emeril's Restaurant "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. Through the years her shows have kept me in rapt attention, and her humor has kept me in stitches. She is a national treasure, a culinary trendsetter, and a born educator beloved by all." --Thomas Keller, The French Laundry "Julia freed the American public from their fears of cooking French. By doing so, she greatly expanded the audience for all serious food writers. Her demystification prepared that public for the rest of us. I believe that the television shows based on that landmark book did even more to encourage reluctant cooks to try their hands . . . much to our benefit." --Mimi Sheraton "1961 A.D. Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking is published. Her black-and-white TV show on WGBH in Boston soon follows. Child is one of the great teachers of the millennium: She is intelligent and charismatic, and her undistinguished manual skills are not daunting to her viewers. An entire generation of ambitious American home cooks is instantly born." --Jeffrey Steingarten, "Has it really been 40 years since Julia Child rescued Americans from dreary casseroles? This reissue, clad in a handsome red jacket, is 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

An incredible college like text with the prerequisite knowledge included !
I have only adjusted a few of my "habitual procedures" so far, but have been smugly satisfied to read that Ms Julia uses the same process to cut onions as I have been doing for almost 40 years, and not the wasteful and more difficult way I see on almost all expert cooking shows. Now I can stop critisizing these TV chefs over my PET peeve. I have so much more to study/learn and I can skip around to what I'm interested in at the moment. I've worked as a cook, sous-chef, and chef, but for the last couple of decades have been a simple world traveled and taught gourmand. The "Joy of Cooking" has been my bible in my extensive collection of cookbooks and culinary encyclopedias. I've stupidly (and shamefully) avoided Julia simply because of her TV voice and posture. How foolish I've been, and I'm a bit of a French snob having been born there. Just goes to prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks, and I'm learning with the turn of each page. Thanks to the fine providers on E-Bay I've availed myself of both volumes and am looking at Julia's other missives.

French Cooking
I made the Beef Bourgonon this past week and all I can say is .... yum. The book is broken down so that even the weekend cook can figure it out. I messed up a bit and put the mushrooms in too early, but it still turned out. Next time I will get it exactly right. It is a huge book and I wish it had more recipes, but then I can always get the other volumes. It was a bit pricey, but that's just because of the movie Julie & Julia, and as of today Meryl Streep's Golden Globe Award for her wonderful role. I must admit I had been trying to buy a different Julia Child recipe book and have been outbid almost everytime for the book. I switched books when I saw the movie, because this was the one used in the movie. I'm going to try another beef recipe and maybe a cake this week. I feel confident with the way the recipes are laid out that I will get a wonderful result. Bon Apetit my fellow foodies.Read full review

One of a kind.
I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy of this book for quite some time. It is a shame that USPS left it out in the pouring rain when they delivered it, but I was able to save it, for the most part. Julia's writing, explanations, and enthusiasm can clearly been seen and read through the pages. It is a wonderful book and an amazing part of culinary history.
