In 1961, Julia Child published Mastering the Art of French Cooking, frequently described as revolutionary. According to legend, Child inspired Americans to exchange their bland cooking for French cuisine's rich flavors.Yet Child's book was hardly singular among cookbooks. One publishing catalog lists almost as many books about French cooking in the decade before Child's book as in the decade after. While Child's book influenced a particular American cohort, its effect on the American publishing industry was minimal, a fact at odds with popular assumptions both about publishers and about Child's importance. We might expect Child's success to foster many imitators. Instead American cookbooks pursued themes popular before Child's book was published, including a growing interest in the American cooking styles allegedly vanquished by Child.
