Review: Well worth the read, great purchase. - I bought this book after watching the film 'Julie and Julia' and I'm not disappointed with the in depth methods described in each recipe. It's rather quaint the way the ingredients are listed down the side of each page, along side the methods. In fact, it beats looking up and down the page as you follow a recipe for the first time, something which irritates me in the more conventional cookery books as I find it easy to get lost sometimes. As for the recipes themselves, they are truly inspirational and informative, even for experienced cooks like myself. There is something there for everyone to pick up on and learn. I love the sauces section - it's too easy these days to 'cheat' with ready made products,but, this book has shown me how easy it is to do them for yourself all over again. When you think about it, how many dishes do you eat out at fancy restaurants that have these sauces at the heart of their recipes? Once I've been through this book I'll definitely be buying volume two! And one more tip, I've invested in a good, quality cast iron casserole dish which cooked Julia's roast chicken with divine flavours! A must for this sort of cuisine I feel - quality cast iron to bring out the flavours!
Review: A classic - One of the most famous French cooking books and for good reason, easy to follow and good traditional French foods. Some recipes can take a long time so beware.

One of the most famous French cooking books and for good reason, easy to follow and good traditional French foods. Some recipes can take a long time so beware.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for any serious cook
*by S***N on 9 August 2024*

Although this book was written last century, many of the recipes and procedures have not changed, and Julia Childs remains one of the forerunners in the cookery world!
