In 1968 recipes from her early programs, many of which were drawn from this book, were published in The French Chef Cookbook. In 1975 From Julia Child's Kitchen was published, followed in 1978 and 1979 by Julia Child and Company and Julia Child and More Company, based on those programs. Also based on television series were the two books — Cooking with Master Chefs and In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs — she wrote in the mid-1990s, as well as Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home, with Jacques Pepin, in 1999. The Way to Cook, her magnum opus, was published in 1989, and in 2000 she gave us Julia's Kitchen Wisdom, a distillation of her years of cooking experience.
