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.
Of all my cookbooks this is my favorite.
my cooking bible.
This is the kind of cookbook you can actually just read. The photographs are beautiful, plentiful, and helpful. And the book works in the old-fashioned way most hotly marketed cookbooks today don't; you get a master recipe, and then several variations on the theme, or ways to use the master recipe as a part of other dishes. Some of the more elaborate items I haven't had the courage to try (like dripping hot sugar over a broomstick to decorate my yule log). There are a lot of short articles on subjects of all kinds (like the physiological consequences of eating plenty of beans), full of Julia's humor and pragmatism. This gorgeous book will probably be of most use to more experienced cooks with plenty of time and kitchen space. But anyone can learn a great deal about how food works, and you can adapt the size or scale of the recipes to suit your own taste. Comprehensive and lush.
