This is not just a cookbook. It is "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," a book that is a statement, not only of culinary intention but also of ambition, a commitment to a specific quality of life and worldview. It is a tribute that conveys taste, appetite, and a touch of the elegance of French culture.
Julia Child's books are a triumph and also a trophy. This is the best-selling classic guide to French cooking with over 1000 clear, authentic, and delicious recipes for every essential French dish, from Boeuf Bourguignon to the perfect croissant.
And now, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Penguin has reorganized and redesigned the text and includes a special anniversary introduction from Julia Child. Published in the time frame of Mother’s Day, this boxed set with two beautiful hardcover volumes will be an essential ingredient for any cultivated kitchen.
