Internet Citizen: It's the classic, so it comes down to whether it was received as expected. It was! Materials and binding are good, the print is as expected. It shipped without damage. There isn't much more to say.

GraceGrace: I love these books so much I had to show them off on the kitchen counter. The recipes are great and easy to follow and the book itself is a dream to have.

Floyd Johnson: We watched Julie and Julia and fell in love with the idea of cooking our way through the cook books. Unfortunately, we are not retired yet, and haven't done it yet. But we are still looking forward to it!

White Rabbit Reviews: I am a pretty seasoned home cook, and I have had these cookbooks in my wish list for a long time. I was told they are pretty much a must-have for any home cook. I finally caved and ordered them, and I was not let down in the slightest! The recipes alone are fantastic, but the techniques and tricks you learn are invaluable.

Not only do I now have delicious, authentic French recipes in my repertoire from a seasoned chef, but the techniques to cook every meal infinitely better. These books really are classic for a reason and are must-haves for ANY cook!

My only con, if I had to mention one, is that there are no pictures- it is all words. So do not purchase this cookbook expecting to see beautiful food pictures.

Patricia L.: I love the cookbook, even though I am not a fan of French Food.
Julia Child was what I call a “bridge”.
There are a few people in history who transverse critical times.
I love old cookbooks because they speak honest history, no politics and no b.s.
Julia’s cookbooks tell me the story of a country devastated by war, but which, like herself, refused to back down, to become something less.
Most of us these days do not have the time to put into these dishes, but when we can, and do, it is an act of love, of joy, of resisting the noise.
Julia brings into the kitchen the very spirit of resistance….to put a well cooked and presented meal in front of your family is an act of love that makes the troubles of the world melt away.

Mme TheVert: Classic french recipes, easy to follow! So mich recipes inside really worth the price!

K StephensonK Stephenson: Inspired by recent television versions of the life and cooking of Julia Child, my wife has begun a blog on her experiences in mastering French cooking throughout 2023. So these volumes were a present to assist her in her journey.
Beautifully presented in their own slip case, the two volumes are illustrated with detailed line drawings and clearly outlined recipes. These are not your flashy, glossy lightweights full of pages of enticing full page photos, these are classics from the 1960s. These are detailed tried and tested recipes from a passionate exponent of French cuisine who turned America TV audiences away from their TV dinners.
I’m sure that these will get some heavy use, not only in 2023, and I will get the benefit of their contents although my waistline will probably suffer.

Oksana: After watching "Julie & Julia" I knew I had to get myself these books. I love cooking, and I love eating, and I love even more when the food is so delicious it literally makes you want to beg for more.

I probably won't be creating a blog to showcase each recipe come to life, but I'm definitely going to treat myself and my family to some delicious meals.

Jan Onderwater aus NLJan Onderwater aus NL: Erst mal vor weg: Dies ist die original Ausgabe, auch Amerikanisch-Englisch, und hab mir diese aus den USA kommen lassen. Hatte in 1986 schon die niederländische Übersetzung von Johannes van Dam gekauft, und damit kochen gelernt, als Koch sehr verdienstlich diese Rezepte benutzt.

Julia Child hat dieses Buch zusammen mit Simone Beck und Louisette Bertholle geschrieben, und ich halte es für einer der allerbeste Kochbücher, die es gibt. Es geht dabei nicht um tolle Fotos oder was gerade in und Trend ist. Es sind sehr gute mehrfach ausprobierte Rezepte, von die drei probiert und geschrieben. Die klassische französische Küche.

Die Ausgabe ist schön und gut gepflegt, echt gebunden (also nicht nur Hardcover) und in eine Box geliefert, das Layout und Design wurde viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Die (seltenen) Bilder sind Zeichnungen, die sehr klar sind. Die Auswahl der Zutaten ist so gewählt, dass man sie in US-Geschäften findet. Ich kann nicht ausreichend beurteilen, wie gut die Übersetzung ist.

Fotos sucht man vergeblich. Es ist kein Bildband, in dem man die Fotos verführerisch betrachtet, wie die Kochbücher mit die Namen von Tim Melzer, Jamie Oliver oder...

Chris Melzer (ChrisDMelzer@aol.com)Chris Melzer (ChrisDMelzer@aol.com): Eines vorweg: Wenn Sie sich nicht für die USA interessieren und keinen Spaß an der englischen Sprache haben, gibt es bessere Kochbücher für die französische Küche. Es ist ja auch absurd, sich in den USA zu erkundigen, wie denn so die Küche unserer Nachbarn ist. Zumal man in Deutschland vermutlich mehr über französische Küche weiß als in den USA. Man sollte allerdings nicht vergessen, dass es in den USA, gerade an der Ostküste, einige hervorragende Restaurants und brillante Köche für die französische Küche gibt.

Julia Child war eine von ihnen. Sie kam als Botschaftergattin nach Frankreich, vertiefte sich dort in die Küche und brachte sie wieder daheim in den USA auf Amerikas Tisch. Vorher, man mag es kaum glauben, waren vielen französische Spezialitäten nur Insidern bekannt. Child (und sicher auch zurückkehrende Soldaten) änderten das. Ihre Kochsendung „The French Chef“ ist ein solcher Klassiker, dass das Smithsonian in Washington eine eigene Ausstellung darüber hatte. Darüber bin ich auch auf sie aufmerksam geworden – und dann war da natürlich noch der Film mit Meryl Streep. Child war übrigens 1,88 Meter groß und die Fernsehküche musste für...
