Synopsis "Mastering the art of French Cooking: Volumes 1 and 2 "

Perfect for any fan of Julia Child--and any lover of French food--this boxed set brings together the two volumes of the acclaimed best-selling classic cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" --Entertainment WeeklyVolume One contains 524 recipes for the savory delights of French cuisine, from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Volume Two presents a brilliant selection of 257 additional recipes that not only add to the home cook's repertoire but, above all, bring them to a new level of mastery. Taken together, these two books are a stunning feat of cookbook literature, and Julia Child's most beloved works.

(California 1912 - 2004) She graduated from Smith College and during World War II worked for the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) in Ceylon and China, where she met Paul Child whom she married and moved to Paris with. After studying at Le Cordon Bleu and having worked in the kitchens of distinguished French chefs, in 1951 Julia Child opened her own cooking school, L'École des Trois Gourmandes, with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle. Together, they wrote the first volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). In 1963, Boston WGBH premiered the television program The French Chef, which made Julia Child a national star and with which she won the Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Julia Child was decorated with the French government's Legion of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003.
