Larousse Gastronomique
"...Larousse Gastronomique, Julia Child's favorite book and quite possibly the one book you should have in your cookbook library. Well, other than Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Larousse Gastronomique is not precisely a cookbook but an encylopedia, a catalog of culinary terms, techniques and recipes. First published in France in 1938, the book was edited by Prosper Montagné, contained a preface by Georges Auguste Escoffier, and numbered 1087 pages. Larousse was translated into English in 1961, and in 2001 an updated version, expanded a few hundred pages to include more cuisines and photographs and overseen by culinary luminary Joël Robuchon. The book covers a lot of ground, from abaisse (a sheet of pastry) to zuppa inglese (a 19th century Neapolitan dessert), weighs a hefty 8 pounds (useful to weight terrines), and packs in a surprising amount of recipes. It's an awesome book, pleasurably daunting in its scope, and you can see why Child revered it. "If I were allowed only one reference book in my library," she wrote, "Larousse Gastronomique would be it, without question."

It was banned back in the day for its content. It inspired many films and individuals to seek adventure and sometimes that came with consequences (the book was blamed for folks committing crimes).

My new Bosberg frame arrived yesterday and it lives up to its looks. Not only does the frame look good but it also rides very well. Its stiff, light and responsive. Looking forward to racing it this season.

You get to choose the names for the characters and in a few weeks you'll get a real copy of the book in the mail. Romeo and Juliet would be a good wedding or Valentine's Day gift.

Is Quirk Classics wearing out their novelty by so quickly busting out these reimaginations? Odds are, yeah, but that doesn't stop me from thinking this is amazing.
