Interesting menus, traditional French cuisine

Sad this is out of print. The recipes are more traditional French though Julia takes a spin into modern cuisine with a spaghetti squash served with an eggplant sauces. There is pate en croute, a vegetable cake made of layers of carrots, broccoli, mushrooms and crepes, and other time-consuming yet interesting recipes. Not like the classic two volume "Art of French Cooking" but certainly classic Julia Child.

Fabulous orange bavarian torte!

Worth it just for the orange bavarian torte recipe. This is one of Julia's most delicious deserts, and makes a stunning presentation. The book (and Julia Child and Company) has excellent color photographs which show you step-by-step how to assemble each recipe. These books are organized by complete menus which is helpful if you are planning an event.
