Description

This isn't just any cookery book. 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. AA GILL, The Times

This fabulous slipcase contains books 1 and 2.

Review by Mrs Jocelyn on 17th June, 2011
4 stars "Read Julia Child's ' My Life in France' and had to have her book"

The volumes are well-written, easy to understand and give variations on the basic recipe, making the dish your own.
There is often a description of the equipment used and, because it is an up-dated version of the original Volume 1 edition printed in 1961,Mrs Child is not afraid to use ‘modern’ tools.
With a history of traditional cooking practices for many local dishes and drawings to assist understanding the methods, these books are also entertaining.
From simple daily dishes to ideas for a banquet, this duo contains a wealth of recipes for every cook to try – and I intend to delve deep!
