Book "El Arte de la Cocina Francesa" (VOL. 1) (Spanish version)

"El Arte de la Cocina Francesa" book, by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, is a classic recipe book that, for some strange reason, we have not been able to enjoy in Spanish until now. It’s a useful recipe book which enriches the culinary repertoire and teaches classic techniques that can be applied to a wide range of occasions and recipes. It is a book that teaches you how to cook, as well as how to perfect.

From basic techniques to tips and tricks to master the art of cooking, this book has become one of the greatest classics for any cook.

It also suggests suitable side dishes and wine for each dish.

After studying at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu academy and working in the kitchens of distinguished French chefs, Julia Child opened her own cooking school, L'École des Trois Gourmandes, in 1951 with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle. She then wrote the first volume of The Art of French Cooking (1961). In 1963, she premiered her television programme The French Chef, forerunner of the successful TV cooking show format we know today, which made Julia Child a national star, and with which she won some of the most important awards in television. In 2009, the film Julie&Julia, based on her life and starring Meryl Streep, was a worldwide success. Julia Child revolutionised and continues to revolutionise the way people cook in homes around the world.

This book contains 524 recipes, more than 100 illustrations and teachings of techniques that form the basis of French cuisine and offers resources for self-creation.
