Immediately hailed as a masterpiece when it was published in 1961,
Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the first book to translate the
subtleties of French cooking reliably and clearly for an American
audience. It was also the first true teaching cookbook, leading its
readers step-by-step through the preparation of each dish. For this 40th
Anniversary Edition, Julia Child has written a new introduction that
recalls the nascent food scene in America at the time of the books'
original publication.
Julia Child was born Julia McWilliams in Pasadena,
California. After she graduated from Smith College in 1934, she spent
several years in advertising and publicity and joined the Office of
Strategic Services during World War II. Her war career took her to
Washington DC, Southeast Asia, and China, where she met her husband, Paul
Child. Following their marriage in 1946, Paul joined the U.S. Information
Service in Washington, where they were eventually sent to Paris, and Julia
began her culinary career at Le Cordon Bleu. After more than 4 years in
Paris, they were stationed in Marseilles, then Germany, and Paul ended his
diplomatic career in Norway. After Paul's death in 1994, Julia spent
winters in her native California and summers at their longtime home in
Cambridge, Massachusetts
