Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Julia Child
Allez! Join us as we attempt to master the art (and dairy) of French cooking alongside the wonderful Julia Child, who changed the American home-cooking scene with this book in 1961, firmly establishing herself as one of the most-loved figures in the cookbook world. Find out what we love about her unique style of recipe-writing, which saucy classic Victoria cooked up and which cartoon crush Hannah can't let go of with her choice of dish.
We give a shout-out to some foodie emails that we love in this episode - Vittles, Alicia Kennedy and Stained Page News - go forth and subscribe!
We'd love to hear if you have this book and what you think of our take on it. Let us know @cookbookcircle on Instagram and Twitter. If we can find the recipes that we cook online, we add them to our website. Check them out here: www.thecookbookcircle.com
