First edition of this work is by these two legendary chefs. Quarto, original boards, illustrated with 328 color photographs by Christopher Hirsheimer. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-page, “To Naomi and Gil Julia Child.” Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carol Devine Carson.
Julia Child and Jacques Pépin are synonymous with good food, and in these pages they demonstrate techniques (on which they don’t always agree), discuss ingredients, improvise, balance flavors to round out a meal, and conjure up new dishes from leftovers. Center stage are carefully spelled-out recipes flanked by Julia’s and Jacques’s comments—the accumulated wisdom of two lifetimes of honing their cooking skills. Nothing is written in stone, they imply. And that is one of the most important lessons for every good cook.
