Julia Child è stata una rinomata cuoca, autrice e personaggio televisivo americano che ha introdotto la cucina e le tecniche culinarie francesi al pubblico mainstream. Attraverso i suoi influenti libri di cucina e i popolari programmi televisivi, ha reso accessibili piatti complessi e ha mostrato la sua personalità unica e senza pretese sullo schermo. Ha ispirato generazioni di cuochi americani, colmando il divario tra gastronomia professionale e cucina casalinga.
Julia Child entdeckte die französische Küche in Paris und absolvierte die «Ecole du Cordon Bleu». Gemeinsam mit Louisette Bertholle und Simone Beck veröffentlichte sie 1961 «Mastering the Art of French Cooking», ein zeitloses Standardwerk. Der 1. Band erschien nun erstmals auf Deutsch, der 2. Band folgt im Sommer 2022.

A charming, giftable collection of the beloved, best-selling author's inimitable quotes--her words of wisdom on love, life, and, of course, food."If you're afraid of butter, use cream."

This delightful volume of quotations compiles some of Julia's most memorable lines on eating--"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook"--on drinking, on life--"I think every woman should have a blowtorch"--on love, travel, France, and much more. Perfect for Julia fans, home cooks, and anyone who simply loves to eat and drink.
A delightful collection of interviews with the beloved Julia Child--"The French Chef," author, and television personality who revolutionized home cooking in 20th century America This delightful collection of interviews with "The French Chef" Julia Child traces her life from her first stab at a writing career fresh out of college; to D.C., Sri Lanka, and Kunming where she worked for the Office of Strategic Services (now the CIA); to Paris where she and her husband Paul, then a member of the State Department, lived after World War II, and where Child attended the famous cooking school Le Cordon Bleu. From there, Child catapulted to fame--first with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961 and the launch of her home cooking show, "The French Chef" in 1963. In this volume of carefully selected interviews, Child's charm, guile, and no-nonsense advice are on full, irresistibly delicious display. Includes an Introduction from Helen Rosner, food critic for the New Yorker.

Es wurde ein Bestseller und bescherte der Autorin sogar eine eigene Sendung im Fernsehen, mit der sie ein Millionenpublikum erreichte. Das Buch gilt seitdem als Klassiker und hatte wesentlichen Einfluss auf zahlreiche Köchinnen und Köche der nächsten Generation.

The bestselling story of Julia's years in France--and the basis for Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams--in her own words. Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia's unforgettable story--struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globe--unfolds with the spirit so key to Julia's success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of America's most endearing personalities.
The perfect gift for any follower of Julia Child and lover of French cuisine, this boxed set includes the complete Mastering the Art of French Cooking and its sequel. Volume One features 524 classic recipes, emphasizing that “anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere” with proper guidance. It serves both seasoned cooks and beginners eager to recreate the savory delights of traditional French cooking, from iconic dishes to simple spring-green peas. With over one hundred instructive illustrations, the techniques learned can be applied to other French cookbooks, enhancing their usability. Compiled from the expertise of renowned Cordon Bleu chefs, this volume remains a staple in American kitchens. Volume Two offers 257 additional recipes, showcasing the continued exploration by Julia Child and Simone Beck of classic dishes and regional specialties in France. Each recipe is presented step-by-step, maintaining the clarity and precision of the first volume, but with five times as many illustrations for enhanced understanding. Notably, this volume empowers Americans to excel in baking and charcuterie, areas where they often must rely on their own skills rather than local bakeries or charcuteries. Bon appétit!
