Immediately hailed as a masterpiece when it was published in 1961, Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the first book to translate the subtleties of French cooking reliably and clearly for an American audience. It was also the first true teaching cookbook, leading its readers step-by-step through the preparation of each dish. For this 50th Anniversary Edition, Julia Child has written a new introduction that recalls the nascent food scene in America at the time of the books' original publication.

Fifty years ago Mastering the Art of French Cooking ignited America's passion for good food, and brought that food into our homes. It remains as essential today as it was then--a great teaching cookbook and the preeminent French cookbook for the American kitchen.

More than just a cookbook
by Constance, OH

I was very pleasantly suprised to find some core cooking basics in this wonderful book. The tips, weights/measures, hints, etc. are excellent for new cooks and those who have been around for a long time. I would recommend this book as one every household should have.

It was just what I wanted. It had a lot of info on the techniques that I wanted that could be translated onto a lot of other things, not just the recipes in the book.

Cooking Tip From the Food Network Kitchens

We hate wasting good ingredients- especially pricey ones like Parmesan cheese. When you've grated every last bit, save the Parmesan rinds for the next time you're making soups or stews. Tossing it into the pot while cooking is an easy way to add rich flavor.
