Recipes from Julia Child’s The French Chef Cookbook

Published in 1968, The French Chef Cookbook features recipes from The French Chef (1963 – 1973), the television show that revolutionized American cooking and made Julia a household name. The book spans 119 episodes, and includes recipes for sauces, stews, meats, vegetables, cakes, pastries and more, all organized by show and written in Julia’s distinctive and engaging voice. Although it’s a shorter volume than Mastering the Art of French Cooking, The French Chef Cookbook is packed with classic French cooking techniques and tons of Julia’s incomparable culinary wisdom. Here, we share a selection of recipes from the book, along with photos taken by Julia’s husband, Paul, while on the set of The French Chef. A beautiful new edition of Julia's beloved cookbook will be released in November.
