My Life in France by Julia Child

My Life in France My Life in France by Julia Child


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Julia Child was an amazing woman. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Julia's road to culinary success. She and her husband Paul ended up in France through his work with the United States Infomation Service. Julia did not know how to cook at all when she married Paul. They had so many opportunities to try amazing food while they were in France. Julia wanted to try some of those recipes at home to impress her husband. Little did she know that she was on the way to a new career!

Julia describes her life in France with such vivid descriptions of France, French food and the period in the history of world events. The world was changing rapidly and not only did Julia change with it but she also documented changes through film and print. She had a facinating life.

I was impressed with Julia Child as a writer, a culinary artist, and a pioneer in the new medium of television. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
