Cassidy’s Review
I formerly owned this set of cookbooks but lost them in a divorce. I just purchased them from Amacon.com and am thrilled to be reacquainted with them. Ms. Child’s descriptions are straight forward and quite simple to follow. French cooking is not difficult to work with and that is Ms. Child’s approach. They take a basic approach and do not go off on fanciful tangents. You will love it!

Can make anyone into a French Chef
I discovered this cookbook several years ago and, at least gastronomically, it changed my life forever. The recipes are broken down into the absolute simplest steps possible. The sauces are phenomenal. One can finally appreciate the notoriety that French cooking has (deservedly) earned by preparing and tasting any of these recipes. Julia has confirmed me as a French cooking fan!

To me this book is irreplaceable, so I’m ordering a new one.
With the help of this book, I taught myself to cook using the basic French cooking instructions in the book. Thirty some years later, after two-year’s work/study in a small (then non-accredited) cooking school, I still refer to it. I refer to it for many reasons, least of which is to jog my memory. My ancient copy (circa 1960?) is coming apart at the binding, so I need to replace it. This book is inspiration!
