Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home

A companion volume (and much, much more) to the new 22 part PBS series. Two legendary cooks join forces to show you how: the one and only Julia Child, and the one and only Jacques Pepin. Together they take you back to the heart of good French home cooking and show you that while there are traditional ways of preparing a dish, nothing is written in stone. Julia has her interpretations and innovations; Jacques has his. And you will have yours. Every page is bursting with fresh ideas, proving again and again that cooking is endlessly fascinating, and ultimately personal. From soups (French Onion and Lobster Stew) to mastering the art of vegetables, fish, poultry and meet cookery, to classic home desserts like a freeform apple tart - here is everything you need to know how to cook superbly and with ease. Above all, Julia and Jacques have fun cooking together - tasting, joshing with each other, suggesting, and improvising - and you'll have fun cooking with them. Richly illustrated with color photographs throughout, this will be a talked-about cookbook and a classic for years to come. Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Santa Barbara, California. Jacques Pepin was born in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. He lives in Madison, Connecticut.
