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

I have a hardback copy of this we got probably 50 years ago for making a donation to the local PBS station. Made a few recipes, most notably the French onion soup which called for a lot of butter and was really, really good.

My instructor used this book when I was in culinary school. A lot of the recipes are outdated to modern tastes, but the knowledge and techniques still apply.

Personally I feel in 2024 that videos are a much better way to learn to cook.

The book that got me into complex cooking. Must buy if you want to elevate your weekend dinners. I usually get praises from guests for each dish being better than restaurant versions. Only catch is that most entrees are not quick meals; can take hours to achieve the right results.
