Join me and my guest, Mike Petrucelli, as we discuss Julia Child's "My Life in France" while we prepare some tasty French dishes a la Julia Child on the next Dinner and a Book.
In her own words, here is the story of Julia Child's years in France, where she fell in love with her husband Paul and French food. From the time her ship docked in Le Havre in the fall of 1948, Julia had an awakening that changed her life for ever. Julia Child reveals the kind of spirit that made her the extraordinary success she became
Julia Child single handedly awakened America to the pleasures of good cooking with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, but as she reveals in this bestselling memoir, she didn't know the first thing about cooking when she landed in France.
Indeed, when she first arrived in 1948 with her husband, Paul, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever. Julia's unforgettable story unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as a cook and teacher and writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty years.
