10 of Julia Child's most famous dishes
Canard a l'Orange
Perhaps the most coveted duck dish in Julia Child's repertoire, while the preparation of the duck is important, it is the caramel-colored orange sauce that makes this dish stand out.

This hearty beef stew from the pages of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is, hands down, Child's most infamous dish.
Coq au Vin
Child mastered this widely popular French dish, featuring flavorful chicken with mushrooms and onions in a red wine sauce.
Moules a la Mariniere
Child made plenty of delicious seafood dishes, but her steamed mussels platter in white wine is probably the most duplicated
French Onion Soup
While this side dish has become commonplace in American-style restaurants, Child's version requires some extra time and care-, with added flavor to make it well worth the extra work.
Salade Nicoise
This tasty salad consisting of tuna, hard-boiled egg and anchovies is easy to recreate in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Piscialandrea
Child popularized this variation of pizza, native to Southern France, which consists of olives, anchovies and onion filling.

Reine de Saba
According to the New York Times, this decadent chocolate and almond cake was the first French dessert that Child ever made
Chocolate Mousse
Paris-based pastry chef David Lebovitz used the term "perfect" when describing Child's sticky and sweet chocolate mousse recipe.
