The book follows the practice of using basic recipes representing a specific principle or ingredient, and then presenting other dishes as variants thereof. A very handy source for basic cooking. The focus is on technique, but there are dozens of recipes as well, both 'master recipes' and their spin-offs, and others that stand alone--an amazing variety!

Reviews"Julia Child paved the way for Chez Panisse and so many others by demystifying French food and by reconnecting pleasure and delight with cooking and eating at the table. She brought forth a culture of American ingredients and gave us all the confidence to cook with them in the pursuit of flavor." --Alice Waters, Chez Panisse "Julia is . . . the grande dame of cooking, who has touched all of our lives with her immense respect and appreciation of cuisine." --Emeril Lagasse, Emeril's Restaurant "Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term 'haute cuisine.' She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining. Through the years her shows have kept me in rapt attention, and her humor has kept me in stitches. She is a national treasure, a culinary trendsetter, and a born educator beloved by all." --Thomas Keller, The French Laundry "Julia freed the American public from their fears of cooking French. By doing so, she greatly expanded the audience for all serious food writers. Her demystification prepared that public for the rest of us. I believe that the television shows based on that landmark book did even more to encourage reluctant cooks to try their hands . . . much to our benefit." --Mimi Sheraton

Desert Island Cookbook
This compact but surprisingly complete book is like Julia's Cliff's Notes-- so many of her classic recipes and techniques in such a small and unassuming package. For decades, the BBC has broadcast "Desert Island Discs", which interviews a prominent person as to what 10 discs s/he'd take along. If you are downsizing or leaving for a desert island and can have only one Julia cookbook, this is the one to pack.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
