Item Description

“People who love to eat are always the best people.” So said the undisputed queen of French cuisine, Julia Child. Delve into cooking with the queen herself with this boxed, two-volume set, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Volume One contains 524 recipes for the savory delights of French cuisine, from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Volume Two presents a brilliant selection of 257 additional recipes that not only add to the home cook’s repertoire but, above all, bring them to a new level of mastery. Taken together, these two books are a stunning feat of cookbook literature.

You'll need some cooking utensils as you learn to make the five mother sauces of France. This set of two French spring coil whisks will lead you towards concocting the smoothest hollandaise and the richest bechamel. 

The kitchen can be a messy place. Protect your clothing with a traditional chef's apron! This 100% cotton apron makes it a comfortable, durable and lasting choice for everyday use and its images of Paris cafes and iconic Paris landmarks are sure to inspire special culinary delights. A matching set of dishtowels will help make clean up a breeze.

Handle those hot pots with a French blue, double oven mitt. Whether its a dutch oven full of a duck cassoulet or a piping hot pan of macarons, this oven mitt will easily protect your hands from the heat.

Lastly, a bottle of Lillet Blanc rounds out this special basket. Lillet Blanc mixes beautifully in a simple spritz with an orange slice and elevates any classic cocktail. The Lillet Blanc is as versatile as it is timeless. And as Julia once said, “I enjoy cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food … ”
