Celebrated for its depth and timeless appeal, it’s a must-have for aspiring chefs and food lovers aiming to elevate their culinary skills and lifestyle. ## Description "This isn't just any cookery book. It is "Mastering the Art of French Cooking", first published in 1961, and it's a book that is a statement, not of culinary intent, but of aspiration, a commitment to a certain sort of good life, a certain sort of world-view; a votive object implying taste and appetite and a little je ne sais quoi. Julia Child was like Amelia Earhart, or Eleanor Roosevelt: she was a hero who'd gone out there and made a difference. Her books are a triumph, and also a trophy." (AA Gill, "The Times"). This is the classic guide to French cooking, with over 1,000 clear, authentic and delicious recipes for everything from Boeuf Bourguignon to the perfect omelette. Bon appetit! Note: It is a reissue of the book containing imperial measurements Review: Well worth the read, great purchase. - I bought this book after watching the film 'Julie and Julia' and I'm not disappointed with the in depth methods described in each recipe. It's rather quaint the way the ingredients are listed down the side of each page, along side the methods. In fact, it beats looking up and down the page as you follow a recipe for the first time, something which irritates me in the more conventional cookery books as I find it easy to get lost sometimes. As for the recipes themselves, they are truly inspirational and informative, even for experienced cooks like myself. There is something there for everyone to pick up on and learn. I love the sauces section - it's too easy these days to 'cheat' with ready made products,but, this book has shown me how easy it is to do them for yourself all over again. When you think about it, how many dishes do you eat out at fancy restaurants that have these sauces at the heart of their recipes? Once I've been through this book I'll definitely be buying volume two! And one more tip, I've invested in a good, quality cast iron casserole dish which cooked Julia's roast chicken with divine flavours! A must for this sort of cuisine I feel - quality cast iron to bring out the flavours! Review: A classic - One of the most famous French cooking books and for good reason, easy to follow and good traditional French foods. Some recipes can take a long time so beware. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - Warning:Toy inside.

A must for this sort of cuisine I feel - quality cast iron to bring out the flavours! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic *by D***S on 3 May 2024* One of the most famous French cooking books and for good reason, easy to follow and good traditional French foods. Some recipes can take a long time so beware. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have classic French cookbook *by A***O on 6 January 2012* I have been using this book since it was first published in the U.K. in the 1960's. I have worn out two paperback versions so have opted for this hardback copy. The recipes, although classic french, are easy to follow and give sublime results. The quiche (pate brisee) pastry just has to be tasted and no bought or restaurant quiche pastry compares with its crisp buttery texture. The bifteck hache a la Lyonnaise (beefburgers) have been a family favourite for years and I have never tasted anywhere any sautee potatoes better than the ones I cook in butter using the recipe from this book. You will certainly be complimented on your cooking if you use this book. I couldn't be without it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol.1 - Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol - Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking: A Cookbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/121122379-mastering-the-art-of-french-cooking-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/121122379-mastering-the-art-of-french-cooking-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
