About this product

Product Information

In Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home , two legendary cooks invite us into their kitchen and show us the basics of good home cooking. Julia Child and Jacques P pin are synonymous with good food, and in these pages they demonstrate techniques (on which they don't always agree), discuss ingredients, improvise, balance flavors to round out a meal, and conjure up new dishes from leftovers. Center stage are carefully spelled-out recipes flanked by Julia's and Jacques's comments--the accumulated wisdom of two lifetimes of honing their cooking skills. Nothing is written in stone, they imply. And that is one of the most important lessons for every good cook. So sharpen your knives and join in the fun as you learn to make: - Appetizers: from traditional and instant gravlax to your own sausage in brioche and a country p t - Soups: from New England chicken chowder and onion soup gratin e to Mediterranean seafood stew and that creamy essence of mussels, billi-bi - Eggs: omelets and "tortillas"; scrambled, poached, and coddled eggs; eggs as a liaison for sauces and as the puffing power for souffl s - Salads and Sandwiches: basic green and near-Ni oise salads; a crusty round seafood-stuffed bread, a lobster roll, and a pan bagnat - Potatoes: baked, mashed, hash-browned, scalloped, souffl d, and French-fried - Vegetables: the favorites from artichokes to tomatoes, blanched, steamed, saut ed, braised, glazed, and gratin ed - Fish: familiar varieties whole and filleted (with step-by-step instructions for preparing your own), steamed en papillote, grilled, seared, roasted, and poached, plus a classic sole meuni re and the essentials of lobster cookery - Poultry: the perfect roast chicken (Julia's way and Jacques's way); holiday turkey, Julia's deconstructed and Jacques's galantine; their two novel approaches to duck - Meat: the right technique for each cut of meat (along with lessons in cutting up), from steaks and hamburger to boeuf bourguignon and roast leg of lamb - Desserts: cr me caramel, profiteroles, chocolate roulade, free-form apple tart--as you make them you'll learn all the important building blocks for handling dough, cooking custards, preparing fillings and frostings - And much, much more . . . Throughout this richly illustrated book you'll see Julia's and Jacques's hands at work, and you'll sense the pleasure the two are having cooking together, tasting, exchanging ideas, and raising a glass to savor the fruits of their labor. Again and again they demonstrate that cooking is endlessly fascinating and challenging and, while ultimately personal, it is a joy to be shared.

Reviews
"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 "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

    Cooking with Julia Child and Jacques Pepin at home

    This cookbook is great! It is very easy to understand. It is very basic using easily obtainable ingredients. The photos are very specific and up close. An additional fun element is side by side comments from Julia and Jacques. They each explain their techniques and their preferences for the recipe at hand. Some of it is reminiscent of sibling rivalry. Very entertaining. This is the companion book to the PBS series Julia and Jacques Cooking At Home which also is very worth your while if you enjoy cooking. Both are highly recommended.

    Well, cooking at home with 2 of the world's best

    I have owned this book before. While moving, in an attempt to down size, I let my copy get away. But, discovered I missed it too much! It's one of my main kitchen references. So you will know, I love cookbooks. Although I try not to collect them, I check them out from the library, study them, and use that information to have a core of books for my own household. Now the book. Jacque and Julia teamed up to try to bring good cooking back to the household. The first chapter on appetizers is a bit daunting....they start with clams. But stay with it. The table of contents lists Soups, Eggs, Salads and Sandwiches, Potatoes and Other Accompaniments, Vegetables, Fish, Poultry, Meats, Desserts. Hmmm. Not much left? But each section has 30 pages or so of recipes, with a wide ranges of ...

    Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home

    I bought this book because I saw the rerunning of the television series in which these two wonderful cooks worked together to bring the recipes to life. This is a companion book to that 20 episode series. They have great ideas and techniques that can help anyone cook better. My favorite section is the one that offers an alternative method for how to prepare a turkey for Thanksgiving. There are many helpful photographs. There are some recipes that I will never try, but this book still makes them fun to read. If you like Julia and Jacques, you will love this book. I also recommend that you see the television series.

    A unique book from two great chefs and human beings.

    I bought this book because I watched the original PBS series from which the recipes were taken and am a big fan of both Julia and Jaques. The recipes aren't that difficult to prepare and a lot of it is really great comfort food. I also bought this book because it is a great remembrance of two great chefs, one an American and the other a naturalized American. As up-scale as these two are, this is mostly down home cooking from a time when Americans weren't so paranoid about watching everything from weight to cholesterol. I would highly recommend it especially when you can find a copy in such good condition from e-Bay. It is unique when it comes to cookbooks.

    A Superb Cooking Duo.

    In the late 90’s I used to watch the show that this book was based on. It singlehandedly began my journey in the culinary world. This recipe book is only missing the war on white pepper vs black pepper and wether to cook a roux for 2 minutes or use it right away. The marginal quips, tips, and stories make you feel like Julia and Jacques are walking you through each of the recipes.
