An outstanding cookbook that covers Julia Child's interpretations of French cuisine. It includes master recipes that are staples of the genre. (

Great cookbook for French cuisine. It includes recipes for dishes that Julia Child considers "master recipes" which are dishes she considers standards. Not for the person who wants quick and easy recipes, although if you've spent time in a kitchen, nothing in here should scare you off. (

This was my first cookbook, and still my favorite. Julia Child taught me everything I needed to know about cooking. I cooked my first Thanksgiving straight out of this book, and had a great time learning how to do it right. (
