Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume One

Comment: I had to turn in the book from my library, so I ordered one for my permanent use. The vender was quick and there were no problems with this item.

Comment: Thank you very much for asking me to write a review on this book. However regret that I have not yet received the book though the date of delivery has way passed.

Comment: I plan on reading the whole book. I just got it after watching the movie "Julie and Julia". What little I have read so far has already been helpful and it's fun to read. I love cooking and can hardly wait to try more recipes. As a child I remember watching her on TV. Even though I wasn't interested in cooking then, she was a part of my life.

Comment: this book is and will most certainly always be, one of my favorite cook books. Of the handful of recipes I have randomly chosen, all have turned out very well. While it is a much older book and certain tools and methods therein described may be considered dated by today's standards-I love it! With just a little bit of prior basic cooking knowledge, this book could easily be anyone's favorite. A definite tried and true classic. You must try the potato leek soup! my husband dubbed it "leaky potato," but for a typically "meat and potatoes guy" he actually loved it, once he was able to overcome the appearance that is.

Comment: I bought this book for my wife after watching the movie Julie and Julia. We both really enjoy cooking all types of foods. I personally have enjoyed this book because of the descriptions and advice she gives about cooking. We have yet to actually follow an exact recipe in this book; but are planning on making the Boeuf Bourguignon as soon as I can get to the store. I don't know much about French cooking but this book seems to give a pretty good idea of how do it (besides adding copious amounts of butter). Fun book, highly recommend; watch the movie and this book will mean that much more to you!
