The three would-be authors initially signed a contract with publisher [[Houghton Mifflin]], which later rejected the manuscript for seeming too much like an encyclopedia. When it was finally published in 1961 by [[Alfred A. Knopf]], the 726-page ''[[Mastering the Art of French Cooking]]''<ref name="PM">{{cite web| url=http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/161490-bless-this-mess-sweeping-the-kitchen-with-julia-child/| title=Bless This Mess: Sweeping the Kitchen with Julia Child| website=[[PopMatters]]| date=August 13, 2012| first=J.C.| last=Maçek III}}</ref> was a best-seller and received critical acclaim that derived in part from the American interest in French culture in the early 1960s. Lauded for its helpful illustrations and precise attention to detail, and for making fine cuisine accessible, the book is still in print and is considered a seminal culinary work. Following this success, Child wrote magazine articles and a regular column for ''[[The Boston Globe]]'' newspaper. She would go on to publish nearly twenty titles under her name and with others. Many, though not all, were related to her television shows. Her last book was the autobiographical ''[[My Life in France]]'', published posthumously in 2006 and written with her grandnephew, [[Alex Prud'homme]]. The book recounts Child's life with her husband, [[Paul Cushing Child]], in [[Aftermath of World War II#France|postwar]] France.
