Review: I purchased this one to replace a disintegrating old copy of the mass paperback printed in acidic paper. It is a great cookbook. My only gripe is that the old one had a foreword on measurements and tables of equivalents. Gone in this edition. Otherwise, it is fine.A good book for the chef who wants to build on his abilities. Delivered promptly without problems.You need this book if you are a fan of the French Chef TV show
The book is a collection of all recipes from the French Chef, it is a great help if you want to cook any dish from that show. The recipes are very precise and follow the the TV recipes exactly. No inconsistencies.
If you purchase this book and want to cook something French but you do not have the French Show dvds, I recommend to purchase them, since many details (how to eval the quality of materials, how to mix, cook etc) are omitted from the book or are hardly understood from the book without video guidance
best seller what can I say, excellent info for everyone who’s in a kitchenI like to cook when I have the time or entertaining gives me the venue for it, but I had never tried many French or French-inspired dishes. A self-professed “foodie”, I knew Julia Child was worth having a look at and for $6, it couldn’t hurt! So far I have been impressed with the dishes I’ve made not only in the quality in flavor and taste, but at how EASY they are to make. Americans don’t make sauces as much as the Europeans do and I was eager to learn a few - Julia’s sauces were delicious, easy and I will certainly be making them more often. The directions are easy to follow and will certainly help the “beginner cook”. The reason for my 4-star rating was because it would have been nice to have the glossy pictures common in cookbooks today, but this cookbook is certainly a classic and a good one to have in your collection. Highly recommended!
