Immediately hailed as a masterpiece when it was published in 1961, Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the first book to translate the subtleties of French cooking reliably and clearly for an American audience. It was also the first true teaching cookbook, leading its readers step-by-step through the preparation of each dish. For this 50th Anniversary Edition, Julia Child has written a new introduction that recalls the nascent food scene in America at the time of the books' original publication.
Fifty years ago Mastering the Art of French Cooking ignited America's passion for good food, and brought that food into our homes. It remains as essential today as it was then--a great teaching cookbook and the preeminent French cookbook for the American kitchen.
A cookbook by Julia Child is a must have for any person who loves to cook and what could be better than the 40th anniversary edition of the cookbook that made her famous.

Yes | No Report Violation »This cookbook is a nice addition to one's collection of cookbooks but you have to be a fan of Julia Child's to appreciate it. Be aware there are no pictures in the entire book......lots of writing. It is a bit pricey. Also, know that the picture of Meryl Streep that played Julia in the movie is only a removable paper wrapper not a real part of the front of the book.

I saw the movie, "Julie and Julia" and I wanted this book ever since. I was alittle weary, because after all, most cookbooks you buy, are almost always just big recipe cards. This book actually shows you, in words perhaps, but shows you how to make the food, instead of just giving the instructions. Of course I might have to wait until this heatwave leaves the east coast in order to cook! It was 98 degrees in the shade yesterday!
