Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'\" --\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume One contains 524 recipes for the savory delights of French cuisine, from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume Two presents a brilliant selection of 257 additional recipes that not only add to the home cook's repertoire but, above all, bring them to a new level of mastery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaken together, these two books are a stunning feat of cookbook literature, and Julia Child's most beloved works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJULIA CHILD, a native of California and a Smith College graduate; Simone (\"Simca\") Beck, French-born and -educated; and Louisette Bertholle, half French and half American, educated in both countries, represented an even blending of the two backgrounds and were singularly equipped to write about French cooking for Americans. Child studied at Paris's famous \u003ci\u003eCordon Bleu\u003c\/i\u003e, and all three authors worked under various distinguished French chefs. In 1951 they started their own cooking school in Paris, \u003ci\u003eL'Ecole des Trois Gourmandes\u003c\/i\u003e, at the same time that \u003ci\u003eMastering the Art of French Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e was taking shape. After that, Simone Beck published two cookbooks, \u003ci\u003eSimca's Cuisine\u003c\/i\u003e in 1972 and\u003ci\u003e New Menus from Simca's Cuisine\u003c\/i\u003e in 1979, and she continued to teach cooking in France until her death in 1991. Louisette Bertholle also had several cookery books published. In 1963, Boston's WGBH launched \u003ci\u003eThe French Chef\u003c\/i\u003e television series, which made Julia Child a national celebrity, earning her the Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Several public television shows and numerous cookbooks followed. She died in 2004.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50598791872786,"sku":"9780307593528","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2f0da3a5-30c9-4226-bd87-b333c573653c.jpg?v=1732191202","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mastering-the-art-of-french-cooking-2-volume-box-set-a-cookbook-9780307593528","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
