It is Mastering the Art of French Cooking , first published in 1961, and it's a book that is a statement, not of culinary intent, but of aspiration, a commitment to a certain sort of good life, a certain sort of world-view; a votive object implying taste and appetite and a little je ne sais quoi . Julia Child was like Amelia Earhart, or Eleanor Roosevelt: she was a hero who'd gone out there and made a difference. Her books are a triumph, and also a trophy' A. A. Gill, The Times Review: A must have book - Purchased as a gift. A must have book. Review: Well worth the read, great purchase. - I bought this book after watching the film 'Julie and Julia' and I'm not disappointed with the in depth methods described in each recipe. It's rather quaint the way the ingredients are listed down the side of each page, along side the methods. In fact, it beats looking up and down the page as you follow a recipe for the first time, something which irritates me in the more conventional cookery books as I find it easy to get lost sometimes. As for the recipes themselves, they are truly inspirational and informative, even for experienced cooks like myself. There is something there for everyone to pick up on and learn. I love the sauces section - it's too easy these days to 'cheat' with ready made products,but, this book has shown me how easy it is to do them for yourself all over again. When you think about it, how many dishes do you eat out at fancy restaurants that have these sauces at the heart of their recipes? Once I've been through this book I'll definitely be buying volume two! And one more tip, I've invested in a good, quality cast iron casserole dish which cooked Julia's roast chicken with divine flavours! A must for this sort of cuisine I feel - quality cast iron to bring out the flavours! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - PENGUIN GROUP ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 28,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 17 in French Food & Drink 1,565 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,075 Reviews | ## Images ![Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol.1: Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XL+ggX2VL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have book *by A***R on 17 August 2026* Purchased as a gift.
