The perfect gift for any follower of Julia Child—and any lover of French food. This boxed set brings together Mastering the Art of French Cooking, first published in 1961, and its sequel, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume Two, published in 1970.

Volume One is the classic cookbook, in its entirety—524 recipes.
“Anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere,” wrote Mesdames Beck, Bertholle, and Child, “with the right instruction.” And here is the book that, for nearly fifty years, has been teaching Americans how.
Mastering the Art of French Cooking is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food and long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. The techniques learned in this beautiful book, with more than one hundred instructive illustrations, can be applied to recipes in all other French cookbooks, making them infinitely usable. In compiling the secrets of famous Cordon Bleu chefs, the authors produced a magnificent volume that continues to have a place of honor in American kitchens.

Volume Two is the sequel to the great cooking classic—with 257 additional recipes.
Following the publication of the celebrated Volume One, Julia Child and Simone Beck continued to search out and sample new recipes among the classic dishes and regional specialties of France—cooking, conferring, tasting, revising, perfecting. Out of their discoveries they made, for Volume Two, a brilliant selection of precisely those recipes that not only add to the repertory but, above all, bring the reader to a new level of mastery of the art of French cooking.
Each of these recipes is worked out step-by-step, with the clarity and precision that are the essence of the first volume. Five times as many drawings as in Volume One make the clear instructions even more so.
Perhaps the most remarkable achievement of this volume is that it will make Americans actually more expert than their French contemporaries in two supreme areas of cookery: baking and charcuterie. In France one can turn to the local bakery for fresh and expertly baked bread, or to neighborhood charcuterie for pâtés and terrines and sausages. Here, most of us have no choice but to create them for ourselves.
Bon appétit!

The Hachette Guide to French Wine (Guide Hachette des Vins de France) is issued annually and is eagerly awaited by wine makers, merchants and connoisseurs. It’s something of a bible as far as French wines go and has taken on a mantle something similar to the Michelin Guide concerning restaurants.

It s an independent and impartial, region-by-region guide to the leading wines of France, compiled by a huge team of wine experts. The team blind tastes over 30,000 wines, of which 9000 make the guide. Each of the wines that is selected is given a rating: the wines included but not given a star are considered to be typical of the area and worth a mention; 1 star is a good wine; 2 stars is an excellent wine; and 3 stars is an exceptional wine and a perfect example of the appellation. There s also an extra award called the coups de coeur which is the highest honor and refers to wines the tasters fell in love with at first sip, and they get their labels reproduced in the guide along their entry. Wine merchants often find their customers requesting a wine just on the strength alone of this award.

Not all French wines are mentioned as some elite producers do not submit their wines for tasting and only one wine from each producer is showcased, however the Guide is a treasure store for wine lovers.

The guide lists a selection of 10,000 wines from 36,000 tasted from 6,500 producers. There are 450 coups de coeurs and 1402 pages packed with information. It also includes updates on the regions, a guide to grape varietals and details of B&Bs (Chambres d Hotes) and self-catering accommodation (Gites Ruraux) on vineyard estates. This guide is available in French only.
