My Life in France
by Julia Child & Alex Prud'Homme
This book was on my "to read" shelf on Goodreads, and I stumbled across it in a used book store last week while shopping with my Dad. I love used book stores, and sometimes I come out with quite the stack. This time, it was a lovely birthday stack of 4 exciting books. My Life in France is the first of these four books.
I absolutely loved this book. I intend to read it again sometime in the future. I saw Julie & Julia in theaters with my Mom, and fell in love with this Julia Child. Around the same time, I started to develop a love of cooking and baking. While I'm not even close to the level of someone like Julia Child, her cooking show made way for one of my favorite things, the Food Network!
Julia Child's story is filled with hopes, dreams, and disappointments, clearly articulated through anecdotes about cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this autobiography.
