Mastering the Art of French Cooking Review
I'm in my 60's and realize how lucky I am to have grown up in a household where we ate home grown meats and vegetables, and made food from scratch. Recipes were handed down from generations, and I learned to cook from other family members.
Mastering the Art of French Cooking is a Masterpiece I never thought I needed, but because of Julia Child's iconic status, and memories of my older brother watching her on TV, I thought this set would be fun to have.
Well, I have found describing these books as "fun to have" does not begin to do them justice.
Before I even began looking at the recipes themselves, I was captivated by reading the history of how they came to be. These volumes are truly a labor of love, a result of Julia's desire to learn, that evolved into the greater desire to share her knowledge in such a way to give others the confidence to tackle anything in the kitchen.
The first seven chapters of the first volume provide a solid foundation for understanding the purposes of different equipment in the kitchen, definitions of numerous cooking terms, ingredients, measurements and...

Mastering the Art of French Cooking is a classic that belongs on the shelf of every aspiring cook. Julia Child was a treasure and her recipes and supporting texts have taught so many. This edition of MAFC is lovely. Simple holding them causes you to day dream of cooking with freshly picked ingredients in a cottage in the French countryside. If you are expecting glossy photos of finished recipes, then this is not the cookbook for you.

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.

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.

Do I recommend this book, if you're a 4 ingredients kind of cook like me-probably not. But for those who like to be a bit more creative-it could be a good book to have in your lineup.
