In reply to Susan Ruble. Hi Susan, Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Someone on instagram mentioned that to me and it was so great to learn that. I love that Lidey created something special and Ina wrote the forward.

Hi Jacqueline,

Yes! I am so happy you picked up a copy and more as gifts. Your friends are lucky to have copies too. It is the same author as A Table that I shared in this post. I really want to make the lemon tarte in Le Sud. Have you made anything yet?

Hi Theresa,

Yes, of course, Julia Child is an icon. She paved the path for so many female cookbook authors that are mentioned in this post. I wanted to share some other cookbooks that I enjoy cooking from that aren’t Julia Child 🙂

A fun post! I am also a huge cookbook fan, especially just simply reading them. Many have such interesting stories and background. I find that inspiring – both to bake/cook or just learn! I wanted to mention something about Lidey’s new cookbook that you didn’t include in your comments. You probably discovered this in the cookbook’s introduction, but just in case you didn’t….. She was Ina Garten’s assistant fresh out of college, hired to establish a social media platform for Ina. Over time, she started helping with recipe development and testing, and obviously learned a lot along the way!! I love her new cookbook too – so many great recipes! A must-have cookbook in anyone’s collection, along with every single one of Ina’s cookbooks (yes, I do have ALL of them)!

Thanks for sharing these! I want to start a cookbook collection and these seem like great items to include. Can you also share info on the necklace you are wearing in these photos? Thanks – really enjoy your blog!

Are ant of Julia Child’s books worth a try? I always think I need to get them for a true French experience and heck a life experience but I never do.
