Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol.2Julia Child Simone BeckLabel: Penguin Books LtdDescription: 'This isn't just any cookery book. It is Mastering the Art of French Cooking first published in 1961 and it's a book that is a statement not of culinary intent but of aspiration a commitment to a certain sort of good life a certain sort of world-view; a votive object implying taste and appetite and a little je ne sais quoi. Julia Child was like Amelia Earhart or Eleanor Roosevelt: she was a hero who'd gone out there and made a difference. Her books are a triumph and also a trophy.' AA GILL The Times'Mastering any art is a continuing process ...' In this book Julia Child and Simone Beck help cooks everywhere master the full repertoire of classic French dishes. Their recipes range across soups from the garden and bisques from the sea famour fish stews from Provence and Normandy to suckling pig and charcuterie baguettes and croissants and through a huge variety of desserts to petit-fours all accompanied by clear step-by-step instructions and 458 illustrations.
