The French Chef

For Julia Child, this elaborate, log-shaped jelly roll signals a party; Whether Christmas, Washington's Birthday, or the Fourth of July, Julia shows you how to roll the log, create bark frosting, meringue mushrooms, and spun-sugar moss.

With pastry dough mastered, tackle fruit tarts; Julia Child shows how, including pastry cream, for showy desserts or glittering confections.
