Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Julia Child

Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Julia Child After watching the movie "Julie and Julia" I checked my drive and found that I had already downloaded a copy of this book, but that there were no bookmarks and the page numbers were all wrong. In memory of my grandmother, who was an excellent cook and with who I spent many hours of my youth watching Julia Child and other chefs like Graham Kerr, and who taught me a lot about cooking, I've spent a few days correcting these deficiencies so that I could offer you all an upgrade of Julia and Company's work. I've run this through OCR and created bookmarks and re-numbered the pages so that you can us the table of contents and the index to find specific recipes. Although this is a bit dated, this being the 1964 printing, I hope you all will enjoy reading and using it, and especially I hope you will teach your sons and daughters to appreciate good, fresh food as well as relaxing and working in the kitchen. Although our tastes have changed quite a bit since Julia Child and Friends wrote this, there is a lot of useful, basic information in this book. Live, Love, Create, Enjoy!

Thank you! This had to be a massive undertaking and except for a few very minor spelling errors, produced an excellent book. I also like the fact that you synced the page numbers to the reader page number. I think this is the first ebook I've ever seen that this is true. Sure makes it easier to find what you want.
You are wrong, though, when you say this book is a bit dated. It never will be. In fact, the better cook books are the older ones. Check out "Joy of Cooking." The 1975 version is the best. It was updated several years ago for "modern lifestyles" and a lot of the good stuff was left out and junk added. The 1975 classic was recently re-released. I'd like to acquire a hard copy and a digital copy of that one as my 1975 version is showing quite a bit of wear.
I wish this ebook had been smaller but don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I just wish it had been compressed more.
BTW, what OCR program did you use and did it require much proofreading and correcting? I can't believe it has as few mistakes as it does.
Thanks again, I'm forever grateful.

Thanks for your hard work. Not many people go through the effort that you've done with this ebook, usually settling just for jpeg scans and leaving it at that. Although I'll probably just glance through this and never touch it again, I'm sure others with more enthusiasm toward cooking appreciate it.

A good cookbook is like giving a guy a fishing rod instead of a fish.

And what a labour of love you did on this book. Julia would be proud!..and your grandmother. Maybe they are together cooking up a meal in Heaven.

I loved Julie and Julia and am so grateful to you for making this book available. I live in France and have not been able to get a copy so this is perfect. Thank you

You're welcome folks....
Actually the movie "Julie and Julia" was the reason I started looking for this in the first place, although I do love to cook. It's a large file because it's a scan someone did. I ran it through the OCR function in Acrobat to make it searchable and then did the chapters manually. The misspellings are mostly the OCR function (in the text of the book) and of course, my own shortcomings in the chaptering pane.
As for syncing the page numbers, I never understood why no one does that... it's actually pretty easy to do.
