5.0 out of 5 stars Nigella with a hammer, 22 Nov 2006
By C. Ten Holter "carolyntenholter" (Oxford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The French Chef Cookbook (Paperback)
More cookbooks should have a picture of a cheery woman wielding a gigantic hammer on the front - it sold me on this one. Julia Child's personality comes through every page - she doesn't just list recipes and methods, she talks you through it as though she was standing in your kitchen watching you, and even things that you might find tricky if you were to attempt them by yourself appear do-able when she explains them. I really enjoy reading this book, as well as cooking from it, plus you get the sense that you're closer to the heart of 'proper' French cooking than with many chefs, without having to actually flog your way through the Larousse Gastronomique.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book to use when you want to splurge., 29 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Though you would not want to cook like this everyday, it does produce delicious food with emphasis on proper technique presented in an informal and laid back manner that is unique to Julia Child. A new forward is written by Julia Child explaning the changes in attitudes on food between the late 1960s (when the book was originally published) and the 1990s. A must for all serious about cooking. Though it lacks the in depth explanations of her other books, it is still a great resource for serious cooks. Anyone who grew up or ever watched Julia Child as the French Chef will especially love this book ( come on, you KNOW you have made the roasting hen dance to the French Chef Theme song at least ONCE before trussing it!!).
