Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Way to CookThe cookbook The Way to Cook by Julia Child is an excellent choice for your cookbook library. The recipes are detailed for the how's and why's you are to cook the dish. I have owned this book since it was published and use it often. I ordered another one for my winter home. I think anyone would refer to this book often and enjoy the wonderful recipes and pictures it contains. Rating: - Excellent if you want to make classic French foodThis is a superb cookbook. It is a great reference for classics (tarte tatin is what brought it to mind), and as others have pointed out a great teaching book (why is it that way?). I would not rate it as a "if you only had one cookbook" choice: the food tends to rich classic French cuisine. I find it great for celebrations and special dinners, but rarely use it during the week. As long as you take it for what it is, you will be delighted: I cannot think of a recipe that disappointed. Rating: - The tablewreckerThis is a big, big book. Physically, it is a monsterpiece, an epic, a culmination of what Julia did during the 1980s as well as a sort of introduction to the later part of her career in the 1990s, where she stepped back and gave a platform to people whose work she had inspired. Not limited to French food (though certainly containing a lot of it), Julia gave free reign to write about the food she liked, and she was more than willing to bring in American food, Italian food, and even, here and there, bits of Asian fusion, that genre that would create so much controversy in the 1990s. Photographs are everywhere, carrying on Julia's long tradition of catering to both visual and textual learners. It's almost as if Knopf demanded a coffee table book and Julia took full advantage of the larger page format. No, it's not a kitchen bible per se; the closest she ever came to that was Mastering The Art of French Cooking, and that was quite specific in its domain, limited to the techniques that make French cuisine what it is, sometimes giving a pass to a classic dish (or punting to Volume 2 if possible) in favor of further demonstrating a technique or ingredient. This book is of the same nature, really, though it casts its net wider than just France. As long as you understand that Julia's work has always been more about teaching than reference, you should not run into any problems. The downside? It's an epic book with an epic price. Make sure that if you buy it as a gift rather than a personal purchase that it goes to someone who will really appreciate it. Rating: - Basics"The Way to Cook" by Julia Child is one of the two best cookbooks ever written for individuals seriously interested in learning to cook. I started cooking from scratch 45 years ago when I was five and have used many, many cookbooks since then. This one tops the list!
