French Provincial Cooking (Penguin Classics)

16 reviews
Elizabeth David

Penguin Classics, 1999

A Fountainhead of Modern American Cuisine
Elizabeth David is one of foremost writers on food in the latter half of the 20th century and this book has her most celebrated writing. For this reason, I was inspired to write this modest review when I saw Amazon feature the volume as an offering, 43 years after it's first publication in England. It is a coincidence of no small meaning that this book appeared within two years before the ...

A necessary, superb finish to the complete work
Rarely are we able to say with certainty that a book is at the top of its subject in regard and quality. This book, the continuation of `Mastering the Art of French Cooking' by Julia Child and Simone Beck is certainly in that most unique position among cookbooks written in English and published in the United States. This volume is truly a simple extension of the material in the original work, ...

The tablewrecker
This is a big, big book. Physically, it is a monsterpiece, an epic, a culmination of what Julia did during the 1980s as well as a sort of introduction to the later part of her career in the 1990s, where she stepped back and gave a platform to people whose work she had inspired. Not limited to French food (though certainly containing a lot of it), Julia gave free reign to write about the food she ...

Julia Child and Simone Beck

Alfred A. Knopf, 1970

My Love of Julia Child
I bought this book sometime ago meaning to read it. But as I am in the 1st year of starting my new business (a pastry shop) I have not had time. But then I remembered Audio Books so I downloaded it and I am now in the process of listening to it. Julia's love of food is contagious if I was not already a lover I would be signing up for the next Cordon Bleu Class booking a plane ticket and flying ...

Italian Food (Penguin Classics)

8 reviews
Elizabeth David, Julia Child

Penguin Classics, 1999

Indispensible Scholarly Study. Buy It!
`Italian Food' is one of the three major books Elizabeth David wrote in the first five years of her culinary writing career, the other two being `French Provincial Cooking' and her first, `Mediterranean Food'. The titles of two of these three books, being about `Food' and not strictly about `Cooking' is very telling of the fact that Ms. David's major books on food are simply not like any other ...

Julia Child

Knopf, 2000

What a wonderful cookbook!
This instantly became my favorite cookbook and I use it so much that it doesn't spend much time on the shelf. This cookbook transcends the "collection of recipes" style of most cookbooks; its style is more "how to improve your cooking skills." Even so, some of my very favorite recipes are in this book. All the recipes adaptable and are presented in a way to make your own adaptations ...
