Cooking with Master Chefs by Child

Dr. Suzuki questioned why all vocalists vocalize every day to improve their voices, but instrumentalists do not do so every day with their instruments. He believes that on any instrument, one needs to practice to make a more beautiful tone. First he talks about playing a beautiful resonant tone with the bow while plucking the string with a finger. When a pizzicato is played, the resonance goes on for a long time. Students should listen to that resonance and play the same kind of clear beautiful sound. He talks about how to make a difference in the tone by using a different bow speed, how to practice to find the resonance point, how to change the weight of the arm on the bow to produce a different kind of tone, and how to change tone color. This book includes all of Dr. Suzuki's basic ideas about tone.

Julia Child was born in the city of Pasadena in the state of California. She attended Smith College and worked for the OSS during WWII; after that, she moved in Paris, studied at the Cordon Bleu, and taught cooking alongside Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, with whom she co-wrote Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). Julia Child became a national star after WGBH in Boston launched The French Chef television series in 1963, garnering her a Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Following that, there were other public television series and a slew of cookbooks. She passed away in 2004.

Simone (Simca) Beck was born in the Normandy town of Tocqueville en Caux in 1904. In 1933, she enrolled in the Cordon Bleu, the world's most prestigious culinary school at the time. On her husband's advice, they began looking for an American to assist them in 1951, and a friend introduced Simca to Julia Child, who was studying cookery in Paris at the time.

She passed away in 1991.
