The success of Volume 1 resulted in Julia Child being given her own television show, The French Chef , one of the first cooking programs on American television. Historian David Strauss claimed in that the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking "did more than any other event in the last half century to reshape the gourmet dining scene". Gourmet magazine offered French recipes to subscribers monthly, and several dozen French cookbooks were published throughout the s. These recipes, however, were directly translated from French, and consequently were designed for a middle-class French audience that was familiar with French cooking techniques, had access to common French ingredients, and who often had servants cook for them. In the early s, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, French cooking teachers who had trained at Le Cordon Bleu , sought to capitalize on the American market for French cookbooks and wrote and published a small recipe book for American audiences, What's Cooking in France , in Beck and Bertholle wanted an English-speaking partner to help give them insight into American culture, translate their work into English, and bring it to American publishers, so they invited their friend Julia Child, who had also studied at Le Cordon Bleu, to collaborate with them on a book tentatively titled "French Cooking for the American Kitchen". Beck, Bertholle, and Child wanted to distinguish their book from others on the market by emphasizing accurate instructions and measurements in their recipes, and authenticity whenever possible.

Beck, Bertholle, and Child wanted to distinguish their book from others on the market by emphasizing accurate instructions and measurements in their recipes, and authenticity whenever possible. Child had noted early in the process that Americans would be "scared off" by too many expensive ingredients, like black truffles, and would expect broccoli, not particularly popular in France, to be served with many meals, and adjustments were made to accommodate these tastes.
