Product Description

The seminal cooking program that made Julia Child a household name--and forever changed the face of America's dinner table

For the millions of cooking enthusiasts who loved the "The French Chef," and for the millions more who never had the opportunity to see this groundbreaking TV series when it first aired more than three decades ago, here is the complete thirtieth anniversary collection of all the recipes from the show that revolutionized American cuisine.

These beloved recipes--slightly simplified selections from Julia Child's classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking--have been fine-tuned to perfection. Filled with sumptuous and timeless French favorites such as Cassoulet, Lobster Thermidor, and Chocolate Soufflé, The French Chef Cookbook puts in print, session by session, dish by dish, the most widely attended and enthusiastically admired cooking course ever given in America.

Enlivened with quintessential photographs from the set of "The French Chef," this book captures the wit, acumen, and accessibility that have made Julia Child an American treasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars The essentials of classic French cooking, but not mastery, Feb 19 2001
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
If you aspire to French cooking, I cannot recommend "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" enough, and you DO need both volumes (the great breads are in the second volume.)

But...if you want the most often asked-for French classics like Lobster Thermidor, Cassoulet and the classic desserts to use for your elegant dinner parties, this is a BETTER choice. It is slimmed-down, modernized, has photos and is the best of the best.

So it's easy to choose; want to learn and read about French cooking, I like the Mastering series better (even better than Jacques Pepin's book.) Want a handy reference for classic dishes for occasional forays into French cuisine? Choose this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old friend re-issued, Oct 4 2001
By A Customer
My 30-something son stole my old, old hardcover edition so-o-o I bought a mass market paperback since I couldn't be without it. Now the trade paperback is out and much easier to handle in the kitchen. I've just transferred the notes made in my original copy. Obviously I highly prize this title just as I prize all of Julia Child's EARLY books, i.e. "Mastering the Art ...", Vols. I & II and "From Julia's Kitchen".

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book to use when you want to splurge., Nov 29 1998
By A Customer
Though you would not want to cook like this everyday, it does produce delicious food with emphasis on proper technique presented in an informal and laid back manner that is unique to Julia Child. A new forward is written by Julia Child explaning the changes in attitudes on food between the late 1960s (when the book was originally published) and the 1990s. A must for all serious about cooking. Though it lacks the in depth explanations of her other books, it is still a great resource for serious cooks. Anyone who grew up or ever watched Julia Child as the French Chef will especially love this book ( come on, you KNOW you have made the roasting hen dance to the French Chef Theme song at least ONCE before trussing it!!).
