The French Chef Cookbook

I have only recently discovered Julia Child from the Sky series The French Chef, so bought this to see some of the recipes in the show. As something of a basic cook this is allowing me to experiment and try new things. I’m not sure I’ll get through all the recipes as there are so many but I am enjoying experimenting.

Si no quieres gastar en The Art of French Cooking, o sientes que es poco práctico, ésta es tu mejor opción. Las recetas son buenas, he preparado una que otra y hasta ahorita todo sabe muy bien. Bon appetit!

I remember coming home from school in the '60's and looking forward to watching The French Chef with her down to earth manner and sense of humour. I am enjoying reading through The French Chef Cookbook and plan the Boeuf Bourguinon for my first try. Even though I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, I am giving 5 stars just because it's Julia and she thought cooking should be fun.

I can remember watching Julia Child on TV as a kid and can still hear that voice, it’s such a pleasure to have this book. The references to the original TV program, photos, and text make this a very interesting book. The information on how to prepare these recipes and the recipes themselves are very clear and easy to follow. This is an excellent book, I am proud to add this to my collection and am going to enjoy making these recipes.

Although over 50 years old this book is still wonderful for both new and experienced cooks. Classic use of butter and cream may put some modern cooks off but the results are wonderful flavours and wholesome food. It would be even better if updated to include metric measurements.
