A beautiful new edition of the beloved cookbook capturing the spirit
of Julia Child's debut television series, The French Chef, which made
her a star and is now featured as the centerpiece of the television
series Julia, The French Chef Cookbook is a comprehensive collection
of more than 300 classic French recipes.
By 1963, Julia Child had already achieved widespread recognition as the
bestselling author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but it
wasn't until her television debut with The French Chef that she became
the superstar we know and love today. Over the course of ten seasons,
millions of Americans learned not only how to cook, but how to embrace
food. The series completely changing the way that we eat today, and it
earned Julia a Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy Award in 1966.
From that success came The French Chef Cookbook, Julia's first solo
cookbook, written with all the wit, wisdom, and joie de vivre for which
she is rightly remembered. Organized by episode--"Dinner in a Pot,"
"Caramel Desserts," "Beef Gets Stewed Two Ways"--the book, like the
television show on which it is based, is a complete French culinary
education, packed with more than 300 delectable recipes--including
timeless classics like Cassoulet, Vichyssoise, Coq au Vin, Croissants,
and Chocolate Mousse.
The definitive companion to Julia's groundbreaking television series,
The French Chef Cookbook is now available in a beautiful new edition,
sixty years after Julia first took to the airwaves.
