Description

One of the most beloved figures in 20th-century American culture was Julia Child, the buoyant “French Chef.” Six feet two inches tall, with a foghorn voice, an irrepressible sense of humor, & a passion for good food, Child ushered in the nation’s culinary renaissance & became its chief icon. This book describes Child’s unlikely career path from California party girl to coolheaded chief clerk in a WW2 spy station to bumbling amateur cook & finally to Cordon Bleu classes in Paris that inspired her career. Analyzes both the brilliant teaching & the peerless performing that made Child’s programs a national addiction. Julia Child is open-minded, a towering woman who personifies her own most famous lesson -- that learning how to cook means learning how to live.
