Recipes from Julia Child’s Cookbooks

Grab one of Julia Child’s cookbooks, flip through the pages, and instantly you’re taken away to a French bistro. To give you a small taste of Julia’s sublime recipes, Relish offers three of our favorites. Through her classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia introduced Americans to so many classic French dishes that’s is hard to narrow down the selection.

If these recipes seem a bit complicated, just remember: Julia Child learned to cook at the age of 37. If she could do it, you can do it, too.

Potage Parmentier

Who knew earthy leeks and potatoes could make such heavenly soup?
