I remember watching Julia Child on TV with my grandmother as a little girl, still in black and white at times (I'm only 33), making some marvelous gastronomical creation. I loved her quirkiness but true devotion to her craft (in hindsight of course). Now, as a foodie, I was really excited about the movie Julie & Julia but I had wanted to read Julia's book first. I can honestly say it was a lovely book. Yes, the usage of French phrases were a bit much, I felt I was missing a little but it was her reflection on her life, which France was very much a part of. Paul and Julia truly loved one another and their story is so pure. I take back one of those age old lessons that hard work and perseverance produces what you want.. it may take some time but the end will justify the means. I was given "Mastering the Art of French Cooking V 1& 2" for my birthday, staples in any kitchen!
Again, a truly lovely book. Pick it up, I think you will like it.
