Joanna's September Recommendation

My Life in France by Julia Child and Alex Prud’Homme

“My suggestion for this month is a heartwarming and humorous account of the life of one of America’s greatest chiefs and television personalities, Julia Child.  Beginning in 1949, My Life in France chronicles Julia and Paul Child’s experiences living, working, and eating in France.  Filled with vivid descriptions of Paris, the French countryside, and French cuisine this book should not be read on an empty stomach.  Julia Child describes her lessons at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and the countless hours spent working on her legendary cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, with such enthusiasm and detail that the reader feels as if you are standing in her kitchen watching her perfect a recipe.  An enjoyable book, one that will be appreciated by lovers of France, food, or Julia Child.”
