Over 700 pages, excellent one stop source on cooking techniques, recipes, interesting conversation and more. This book is considered a collectors item in the kitchen. I rated book 5*****, I do use book from time to time.

What a gem! The book is even better than the seller described. It is enormously practical and useful. I love collecting vintage cookbooks, but I require them to be useful and not just decorative. This one fits the bill perfectly.

Very detailed writing and the second printing of this book has much clearer photos/drawings than later printings.

Great book with candid stories, outstanding recipes and lovely photographs of the Queen of Cuisine! I've been following her career from 1966 until her death, and she's been my catalyst in my career as a chef and pastry shop owner.

If you want to learn--and love--good food, easy techniques and the heart and soul of a true chef, this book is it.

I know Julia Child is extremely talented and I was compelled to buy this after seeing the movie, but as a beginning cook, the reviews led me to believe I would be able to handle this particular cookbook, which in reality, it was not practical and easy enough for me but is meticulously written and very organized but I just wasn't up to the challenge because of being overwhelmed.

This was a great book. After seeing the 'Julie and Julia' movie I decided I wanted to check out the 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' book. They are selling for so much right now. I read that the 'Julia Child's Kitchen' book was considered by many to be her best cookbook. So I purchased it thinking it would be fun to try some recipes. I love to cook, and am a very good cook. Most recipe books give exact measurements of every ingredient. Julia Child wrote the book the way I like to cook- with suggestions of substitutions, and additions to many if not most of her recipes. One can tell by the basic, yet rich full flavored tastes of her recipes that the influence is French. I'm a Frugal cook, and had much appreciation for her suggestions for substitutions and her conscientiousness toward cost savings. It is a very well written book for both beginning cooks, and experienced ones. She explains things simply with out going on and on that would be easy for anyone to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in cooking. I bought it for my daughter and a friend as well as myself. It's a fun and intriguing read. 503Bluebird
