Description: Mastering The Art Of French Cooking Volumes 1 & 2 Julia Child Published by Alfred A Knopf Hardcovers. Volume 1 is dated 1966 13th printing of the first edition. Volume 2 dated 1970 and is marked as a genuine first edition. Volume 1 has a tear at the top of the cloth binding, otherwise both are in very good complete condition - see photos. Mastering the Art of French Cooking is a two-volume French cookbook written by Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, both from France, and Julia Child, from the United States. The book was written for the American market and published by Knopf in 1961 (Volume 1) and 1970 (Volume 2).The success of Volume 1 resulted in Julia Child being given her own television show, The French Chef, one of the first cooking programs on American television. Historian David Strauss claimed in 2011 that the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking "did more than any other event in the last half century to reshape the gourmet dining scene". This item was from the estate of Lewis Buckley Stillwell 1863-1941 and Agnes Newhall Stillwell 1906-1957 & Richard W Stillwell 1899-1982 who were well known professors at Princeton University, in fact several generations of the Stillwell family included many who lectured at Princeton. I recently acquired many fine items from the Stillwell family estate at Plymouth MA.
