Over a thousand recipes across two volumes and a slipcase, in other words the book that taught an entire English-speaking world to cook French food. Julia Child wrote it together with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle and spent nearly a decade doing so. The methodology is precise, patient and utterly uncompromising when it comes to explaining every single step. The book is sixty-five years old and still the best way into the subject, which says something about how well the work was done. An obvious reference book for every cookbook shelf!
