Julia Child & Louisette Bertholle – Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. I – 50e anniv. – Relié

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.
