Summary: Good recipes but cumbersome layout
Comment: Julia Child and Jacques Pepin make French cooking seem so approachable on television, and this book is consistent with that attitude. Simple recipes, like roast chicken with lemon and rosemary and pan-fried steak turn out deliciously. I must caution that the layout of the book--a point/counterpoint in which each chef presents his/her approach--results in a cumbersome book. For example, directions for one dish may appear several pages later than its ingredients. An accompanying sauce may be five, ten pages back. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use those sticky bookmarks in advance of preparing the recipe. The instructional photos could have been much better. A photo showing how to extract a wishbone, for example, is confusing. I would have liked to see more step-by-step series of photos since a single shot is often inadequate. This is definitely a hybrid--part cookbook, part coffeetable tome. Therein lies the difficulty but also the enjoyment.

Summary: A Combination of Two Great Chefs!
Comment: I have followed Julia Child and Jacques Pepin's careers for nearly 30 years on Public Television, individual series and through their cookbooks. This is the ULTIMATE cookbook.
The cutest section is where the two chefs tell US the best way to cook a hamburger. Leafing through the pages brings a big smile to my face when I remember Jacques actually doing what he wanted even if Julia had countermanded him earlier.
Get this cookbook!

Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I bought this book 4 months ago because as an aspiring chef I have the need to learn as much as possible for lack of teachers in my area. I have learned how to make mayonaise, most of the basic sauces and the PATE and the crowd pleaser, Turkey Gallantine. I am thrilled to have this book amongst her other books in my collection which i refer to daily. I recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to learn from the masters (as there is not very many of them left)the art of cooking and making french and any other type of food. As for people who claim some sort of health knowledge like tereshina (which she obviously does not posses), I think she is one of those bitter people that needs to add some sugar and spice to her already depressing and pathethic life or better yet keep eating that darn styrofoam junk!
