Julia Child - Életem ​Franciaországban
Julia ​Child 1948-ban érkezett diplomata férje oldalán először Franciaországba. Egy szót sem tudott franciául, soha addig nem kóstolt egyetlen francia ételt sem, ráadásul főzni sem tudott. Ám ahogy kezdett elmélyedni a nyelv tanulásában, ahogy kezdte megismerni a franciák életmódját és konyháját, szenvedélyes érdeklődés gyúlt benne az ország és lakói iránt, a főzés pedig életre szóló hivatásává vált. Ebben a könyvben Julia Child elsősorban franciaországi kalandjait meséli el: feltárul előttünk a háború utáni Párizs a híres Cordon Bleu főzőiskolával, az eldugott kisvendéglőkkel és a külföldiek pénztárcájához mért elegáns éttermekkel. Juliával együtt kilátogatunk Marseille nyüzsgő halpiacaira, végigjárjuk Provence kisvárosait, megcsodáljuk a kiépülőben levő francia Riviérát, megismerünk híres séfeket és a helyi konyha minden csínját-bínját értő egyszerű parasztasszonyokat. A szeretett férjével Európa más országaiba tett közös utazásaikról szóló tudósításokból kiderül az is, milyennek látta kontinensünket akkoriban egy érdeklődő amerikai. Az emlékirat egyben beszámoló arról, milyen hányattatások után sikerült kiadni a francia szerzőtársnőivel közösen írt, ma már alapműnek számító, kétkötetes angol nyelvű nagy francia szakácskönyvet, és hogyan lett Juliából Amerika első televíziós sztárszakácsa.

Julia Child - Cooking ​With Master Chefs
In ​this companion volume to the PBS series "Cooking with Master Chefs," Julia Child introduces sixteen of America's talented chefs from different parts of the country and interprets their recipes for the home cook.

For example: -- from Charles Palmer (Aureole, New York), how to sear peppery venison steaks -- from Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger (Border Grill, Santa Monica), how to make a spicy vegetarian feast -- from Emeril Lagasse (Emeril's, New Orleans), how to produce an authentic crab boil and a shrimp etoufee -- from Andre Soltner (Lutece, New York), how to cook traditional family dishes from Alsace -- from Jeremiah Tower (Stars, San Francisco), three innovative ways with chicken -- from Lidia Bastianich (Felidia, New York), the secrets of pasta and risotto -- from Patrick Clark (Hay-Adams Hotel, Washington, D.C.), new ways with fish -- fresh salmon as a roulade, grouper crusty with horseradish -- from Michel Richard (Citrus, Los Angeles), how to work with chocolate -- a mousse-filled dome, deep-fried chocolate truffles -- from Amy Ferguson-Ota (The Ritz-Carlton, Hawaii), the special flavors of island produce -- breadfruit, ti leaves, green papayas, wok-seared ono -- from Robert Del Grande (Cafe Annie, Houston), how to cook with chiles -- from Nancy Silverton (Campanile, Los Angeles), the trick of a grape starter that works magic on her crusty loaves -- from Jan Birnbaum (Campton Place, San Francisco), how to home-smoke salmon and roast sassafras-encrusted lamb -- from Jean-Louis Palladin (Jean-Louis at The Watergate, Washington, D.C.), the technique of roasting duck breasts in a fireplace -- from Alice Waters (Chez Panisse, Berkeley), celebrating the winter harvest in vegetable dishes and salads -- from Jacques Pepin (chef-at-large), making puff pastry and a freestanding souffle Julia Child writes in her Introduction that she's never known a serious cook or chef who didn't say: "Every day I learn something new!" "That point of view," she says, "turns home cooking and the pleasures of the table into a wonderful adventure.' So, appetit, and enjoy the adventures that this wonderful book provides.

Laura Shapiro - Julia ​Child - a Life
With ​a swooping voice, an irrepressible sense of humor, and a passion for good food, Julia Child ushered in the nation’s culinary renaissance. In Julia Child, award-winning food writer Laura Shapiro tells the story of Child’s unlikely career path, from California party girl to coolheaded chief clerk in a World War II spy station to bewildered amateur cook and finally to the Cordon Bleu in Paris, the school that inspired her calling. A food lover who was quintessentially American, right down to her little-known recipe for classic tuna fish casserole, Shapiro’s Julia Child personifies her own most famous lesson: that learning how to cook means learning how to live.

Julia Child - The ​French Chef Cookbook
From ​Library Journal: Child's TV career began in 1963 with The French Chef on WGBH-TV in New England. The show proved very popular, and this book contains all the recipes featured in the 119 installments. The text is buttressed with photographs demonstrating cooking, cutting, and serving techniques.

All ​the glorious dishes she cooks for company on her new television series. Detailed recipes for everything she demonstrates or even mentions, plus priceless information on how she plans and markets. And throughout, a fresh delicious array of culinary reflections, suggestions and inspirations.

Joan Reardon - As ​Always, Julia
With ​her outsize personality, Julia Child is known around the world by her first name alone. But despite that familiarity, how much do we really know of the inner Julia? Now more than 200 letters exchanged between Julia and Avis DeVoto, her friend and unofficial literary agent memorably introduced in the hit movie Julie & Julia, open the window on Julia’s deepest thoughts and feelings. This riveting correspondence, in print for the first time, chronicles the blossoming of a unique and lifelong friendship between the two women and the turbulent process of Julia’s creation of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, one of the most influential cookbooks ever written. Frank, bawdy, funny, exuberant, and occasionally agonized, these letters show Julia, first as a new bride in Paris, then becoming increasingly worldly and adventuresome as she follows her diplomat husband in his postings to Nice, Germany, and Norway. With commentary by the noted food historian Joan Reardon, and covering topics as diverse as the lack of good wine in the United States, McCarthyism, and sexual mores, these astonishing letters show America on the verge of political, social, and gastronomic transformation.

Julia Child - Julia's ​Kitchen Wisdom
From ​Publishers Weekly This slender book from the doyenne of gourmet cooking is a boon for those who need a refresher course in, or a handy source for, basics. These notes come from Child's own kitchen notebook, years in the making. Generally, each recipe is included in "master" form with numerous variations; for example, a section on potatoes explains the ins and outs of Mashed Potatoes, as well as provides a recipe for Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Child's voice is always welcome, and never more so than when she is providing no-muss-no-fuss advice like this. A quick section on dried beans covers soaking as well as cooking in a pressure cooker or Crock-Pot, and some more esoteric treats, such as homemade bread and souffl?s, have their place here. Helpful tips proliferate throughout: Sea Scallops Saut?ed with Garlic and Herbs are followed by a paragraph on scallops that exude too much juice, and a section on tarts explains how to prebake a shell. Even Hamburgers (plain and flavored) are covered here.

Mautner Zsófia - Gyere ​velem főzni
Különleges ​hozzávalókból izgalmasat főzni? Erre sokan képesek. De ahhoz Mautner Zsófia kell, hogy egészen hétköznapi hozzávalók lényegüljenek át mesterkonyhai fogásokká. Viszlát, homár – szervusz, karalábé! A Chili&Vanília blog szerzője könyvében vadonatúj receptek sokaságával hívja ízes és sikeres felfedezésekre olvasóit. Nyugodtan bízzák rá magukat! Ebből az új könyvből főzni olyan, mintha ott állna mellettünk egy segítőkész barátnő. Nem véletlen, hogy blogjának eddig több 3 millió látogatója volt: ő bizony tud valamit, amit senki más nem. Családi ebédek, Irány a piac!, Utazás – ez a három fejezet tagolja ezt a változatos receptgyűjteményt. Az első fejezet az emlékeké és a nosztalgiáé, olyan receptekkel, amelyeket a szerző gyermekkora ihletett, és amelyek a mai generációnak is izgalmasak. Töltött libanyak, vörösboros marhapofa, ropogós slambuc, egérke és Ferdinánd – mind csupa régi, újra felfedezésre váró étel. A második fejezet főszereplői a hazai piacok zöldségei és gyümölcsei. Mautner Zsófia nagyszerű, izgalmas receptekkel újítja meg a sokszor elfeledett vagy méltatlanul unalmasnak gondolt alapanyagokat – a karalábéból tüzes kókusztejes-gyömbéres krémlevest, a a vajbabból üde bodzás vajbabfőzeléket, a birsalmából pedig isteni, bő fél óra alatt elkészülő karamellizált hagymás-csirkés ragut készít. A harmadik részben utazásra hív a szerző, többek között török, arab, kínai, koreai, vietnami és olasz vidékekre. Hogy milyen egyszerű összedobni a tökéletes török bárányhúsos lepényt (lahmacun), hogy mennyire kényeztető a chilivel és vaníliával sült csirke, és hogy hogyan készül az igazi pho leves (vietnami marhahúsleves rizstésztával) vagy a török csicseriborsós rizs (nohutlu pilav), amelyhez szaftos báránycsülök dukál? Mindez kiderül a könyvből, melyben a precíz, többszörösen tesztelt recepteket olvasmányos élménybeszámolók foglalják hangulatos keretbe. Mautner Zsófia Magyarország egyik legolvasottabb, több mint 3 millió látogatót számláló gasztroblogjának, a Chili&Vaníliának a szerzője. 2009-ben brüsszeli diplomataéletét cserélte fel a gasztronómiai szakértő szabadúszó státuszával. Miután hazaköltözött, megjelent az első szakácskönyve, amely óriási sikert aratott. Ezután sorra jöttek a felkérések: éttermek, főzőiskolák, rádiós és televíziós műsorok, valamint számos nyomtatott és internetes magazin dicséri munkáját. Jelenleg Budapesten él.

Noel Riley Fitch - Appetite ​for Life
Julia ​Child entered the lives of millions of Americans with her bestselling cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking; her popular and long-running cooking show, The French Chef; and her beloved memoir, My Life in France. In this intimate and revealing biography, based on exclusive interviews and scores of private letters and diaries, Noel Riley Fitch leads us through her incredible life. We travel with Julia from her exuberant youth in California to her raucous days at Smith College; from her volunteer service with the OSS during World War II to the day she met Paul Child, the man with whom she would enjoy a fifty year marriage. We’re with her when she takes her first culinary course at 37 and discovers her true calling; when she begins work on her landmark cookbook and suffers the rejections of most publishers in New York. And when finally her vision strikes a chord with a generation of Americans tired of bland cuisine, we’re there to share in the making of a legend. Julia Child became a household name by resisting fads and narrow conventions, by being the quintessential teacher and an inspiration to modern women, and by doing it all with her trademark humor and aplomb. Appetite for Life is her truly remarkable story.

Julia Child - Alex Prud'homme - My ​Life in France
In ​her own words, here is the captivating story of Julia Child's years in France, where she fell in love with French food and found "her true calling". From the moment the ship docked in Le Havre in the fall of 1948 and Julia watched the well-muscled stevedores unloading the cargo to the first perfectly soigne meal that she and her husband, Paul, savored in Rouen en route to Paris, where he was to work for the USIS, Julia had an awakening that changed her life. Soon this tall, outspoken gal from Pasadena, California, who didn't speak a word of French and knew nothing about the country, was steeped in the language, chatting with purveyors in the local markets, and enrolled in the Cordon Bleu. After managing to get her degree despite the machinations of the disagreeable directrice of the school, Julia started teaching cooking classes herself, then teamed up with two fellow gourmettes, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, to help them with a book they were trying to write on French cooking for Americans. Throwing herself heart and soul into making it a unique and thorough teaching book, only to suffer several rounds of painful rejection, is part of the behind-the-scenes drama that Julia reveals with her inimitable gusto and disarming honesty. This memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly. Above all, she reveals the kind of spirit and determination, the sheer love of cooking, and the drive to share that with her fellow Americans that made her the extraordinary success she became. Le voici. Et bon appetit!

Bob Spitz - Dearie
Now, ​in Bob Spitz’s definitive, wonderfully affectionate biography, the Julia we know and love comes vividly — and surprisingly — to life. In Dearie, Spitz employs the same skill he brought to his best-selling, critically acclaimed book The Beatles, providing a clear-eyed portrait of one of the most fascinating and influential Americans of our time — a woman known to all, yet known by only a few. At its heart, Dearie is a story about a woman’s search for her own unique expression. Julia Child was a directionless, gawky young woman who ran off halfway around the world to join a spy agency during World War II. She eventually settled in Paris, where she learned to cook and collaborated on the writing of what would become Mastering the Art of French Cooking, a book that changed the food culture of America. She was already fifty when The French Chef went on the air — at a time in our history when women weren’t making those leaps. Julia became the first educational TV star, virtually launching PBS as we know it today; her marriage to Paul Child formed a decades-long love story that was romantic, touching, and quite extraordinary. A fearless, ambitious, supremely confident woman, Julia took on all the pretensions that embellished tony French cuisine and fricasseed them to a fare-thee-well, paving the way for everything that has happened since in American cooking, from TV dinners and Big Macs to sea urchin foam and the Food Channel. Julia Child’s story, however, is more than the tale of a talented woman and her sumptuous craft. It is also a saga of America’s coming of age and growing sophistication, from the Depression Era to the turbulent sixties and the excesses of the eighties to the greening of the American kitchen. Julia had an effect on and was equally affected by the baby boom, the sexual revolution, and the start of the women’s liberation movement.

Joanne Harris - Csokoládés ​barack
A ​Csokoládé és a Csokoládécipő után a trilógia várva várt harmadik kötete! Vianne Rocher-t egy másvilágról érkezett levél Lansquenet-be, a dél-franciaországi kisvárosba vezeti, ahol nyolc éve csokoládéboltot nyitott. Minden képzeletet felülmúl, amit ott talál: fekete fátylas nők, fűszerek illata, borsmenta tea és a Saint-Jerôme templom karcsú, csontszínű tornya – egy ezüst félholddal a tetején…Nem csak az észak-afrikai bevándorlók hoztak nagy változásokat a kis közösség életébe. Reynaud atya, Vianne hajdani riválisa kegyvesztett lett és veszélyben az élete. Lehet, hogy csak Vianne képes megmenteni? „Joanne Harris illatokban és ízekben gazdag, lebilincselő szerelmi története egy elragadó világba kalauzolja az olvasót.” – Sunday Times „A Csokoládéhoz hasonlóan, ez a könyv is igazi csemege. Minden oldalát átitatják az illatok, színek és ízek anélkül, hogy túlcsordulna. A szavak elragadóak, a varázslat természetes és magától értetődő, hiszen a varázslat vagy a vallás nem más, mint az emberi lélek megértésének képessége. A Csokoládé és fátyol Harris csodálatos visszatérése.” – Literary Review
