Shipping calculated at checkout
The nascence of Julia Child’s (1912–2004) professional career is, when you come right down to it, a love story. It was both her head-over-heels devotion to husband Paul Child and her long love affair with French cuisine that drove the woman, who couldn’t make so much as pancakes, to learn French, enroll in culinary school, and dedicate the rest of her life to teaching American cooks how they too could make beef bourguignon at home.
My Life in France (2006), written with her grandnephew Alex Prud’homme, is Julia Child’s memoir of those most formative adult years, 1948–1954, shortly after she and Paul Child had married and had moved to France. In her distinctly punchy voice, Julia describes all the charm and allure of their time in France and how it changed absolutely everything for her.
