Synopsis
'This isn't just any cookery book. It is Mastering the Art of French Cooking, first published in 1961, and it's a book that is a statement, not of culinary intent, but of aspiration, a commitment to a certain sort of good life, a certain sort of world-view; a votive object implying taste and appetite and a little je ne sais quoi . . . Julia Child's book is a triumph, and also a trophy.' A. A. Gill, The Times
'This book fundamentally altered the way a basic human activity was perceived and pursued. A.O. Scott, The New York Times
'Has been described as being the best book about French cooking in English . . . I agree.' Ambrose Heath, Guardian
