When The Way to Cook was published in 1989, it was accompanied by a television series and a set of related videotapes, making it the first comprehensive cooking guide. Julia Child’s lifetime of culinary expertise is captured in 800 recipes, which aim to demystify cooking for everyone. Home cooks will discover a variety of poultry and fish recipes, fresh vegetables prepared in innovative ways, and indulgent desserts such as Caramel Apple Mountain and Queen of Sheba Chocolate Almond Cake with Chocolate Leaves.
The book features over 600 color photographs to illustrate how each finished dish should look. Chapters are organized around master recipes, with simple variations following once the basics are understood. For instance, by mastering Julia’s simple yet impeccably prepared sautéed chicken, you can easily create dishes such as Chicken with Mushrooms and Cream, Chicken Provençale, Chicken Pipérade, or Chicken Marengo.
The Way to Cook is an excellent reference volume and a thoughtful gift for a lifetime of culinary adventures.
