Come discuss the cookbook The French Chef Cookbook by Julia Child!

“By 1963, Julia Child had already achieved widespread recognition as the bestselling author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but it wasn’t until her television debut with The French Chef that she became the superstar we know and love today. Over the course of ten seasons, millions of Americans learned not only how to cook, but how to embrace food. The series completely changing the way that we eat today, and it earned Julia a Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy Award in 1966. From that success came The French Chef Cookbook, Julia’s first solo cookbook, written with all the wit, wisdom, and joie de vivre for which she is rightly remembered. Organized by episode–“Dinner in a Pot,” “Caramel Desserts,” “Beef Gets Stewed Two Ways”–the book, like the television show on which it is based, is a complete French culinary education, packed with more than 300 delectable recipes–including timeless classics like Cassoulet, Vichyssoise, Coq au Vin, Croissants, and Chocolate Mousse.”

Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish from the book to share and we will eat as we discuss this month’s book.

Stop by reference to pick up a copy. Cookbook Club is the first Wednesday of every month.
