Mastering the Art of French Cooking

Mastering the Art of French Cooking has something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and want to recreate the savory delights of French cuisine. It contains 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way.

Instead of presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes, Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the emphasis is on key recipes that serve as the foundation of French cuisine and lend themselves to an infinite number of variations, bound to expand anyone's culinary repertoire.
