 I like this cookbookAug 29, 2010
This book is filled with very good recipes. I enjoy and appreciate Julia child's user friendly approach with step by step photographs and the use of ingredients that are simple to find. Some recipes do contain fatty ingredients such as butter and heavy cream but overall the book contains very delicious hearty recipes.

 Julia Child's Way to CookAug 15, 2010
I was inspired by the movie Julie and Julia to buy Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I tried several recipes, many of them a bit complicated, but good. I mentioned to a friend, who is a trained chef, that as much as I liked the book, the recipes were somewhat tricky and dated. She recommended this book. Apparently Julia Child used The Way to Cook as an update to her classic series. The recipes are much more clear and concise, plus she substituted ingredients and equipment for the modern cook. If you found Mastering the Art of French Cooking daunting, give this book a try.
"Julia Child" cookbook - Great food prep info & fun to read tooJun 26, 2010
I found the other Julia Child cook books overwhelming with some of the complex recipes. This one is actually usable for a "standard cook" who wants to improve his/her cooking ability. Really wonderful practical tips and relatively easy recipes (in comparison to her other books!).
She has little "tips" boxes (kind of like the "...for Dummies" books do today) that are really great. For instance, how to make perfect boiled eggs every time that don't bounce, don't look grey and are done inside. Her "basic" recipe for home made (dry) beans is so good, I use it for pinto beans and my family loves 'em!
Recommend the book highly. Definitely a keeper!

The Reference for me...Jun 07, 2010
I've owned this book since '89 and always turn to it for solid guidance....must have. Not as complicated as some reviewers feel it is...the "master" recipes are the foundation - Once you become proficient, creating great meals become second nature. Be patient, use the book often, and you'll become a better cook.
Lifetime of cooking tips in a book.Jun 02, 2010
