Synopsis
Julia Child's two-volume masterwork--one of the most popular and influential cookbooks ever published--introduced French cooking to millions of home cooks during the 1960s and '70s. Among the recipes she includes, mainly traditional but occasionally moderately innovative, are Courgettes en Pistouille, Gnocchi Gratinés au Fromage, Pain Lous XV, Provençal Soup au Pistou, Cassoulet, Brussels Sprouts Braised with Chestnuts, Echalotes, Gateau a l'Orange, Paté à Choux, Raspberry Mousse, and Molded Pudding à l'Imperatrice.

Publisher's Note
Mastering The Art of French Cooking is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food and long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring- green peas. This beautiful book, with more than 100 instructive illustrations, is revolutionary in its approach.

Industry reviews
"[It] is still regarded as the definitive English-language work on classic French cuisine."
Time - Michael Demarest (04/18/1983)

"Today, when a young person asks me what cookbook is indispensable, I mention these two volumes without hesitation. They are not only great teaching guides, they are cultural guides to the cuisine that has long been considered the greatest in the world."
Detroit News - Martha Stewart (02/26/1986)

MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING VOLUME TWO

By Julia Child and Simone Beck

1970 First Edition

Up for auction is a very nice copy of Julia Child's third book.  It presents a whole new range of dishes. Each of the new master recipes is worked out, step by step.  With five times as many drawings as in Volume One, they are demonstrations in themselves.  At printing time in 1970, the notes on the back flap state that nearly 700,000 American families owned Volume One.  It is signed by Julia in blue on the half-title page.

Unread and apparently never used as a cookbook, the pages are clean with no marks. The jacket is still bright with no fading on the spine or top stain.  The front cover has an 1/8 inch tear at the lower right and a small chip at the top right corner.  The top of the spine shows a short tear and creasing, and the back panel shows minor soil and some age toning. The jacket is safely enclosed in a mylar wrapper.  All in all, this is a very attractive copy.

I will be happy to combine shipments on request.  Lowest price Prioirty Mail Flat Rate service is used whenever possible and always includes free dellivery confirmation and signature confirmation.

Please check my other listings, including more signed Julia Child items.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck adding this title to your collection.

 Q: There's probably a simple answer for this one---How is Volume 2 her third book? thanks
A: This is Volume 2 of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," not her second book. "The French Chef" was her second book. It represents the programs from her television series of the same name.
