Description
When Julia Child arrived in Paris in 1948, a six-foot-two-inch, thirty-six-year-old, rather loud and unserious Californian, she barely spoke a word of French and didn't know the first thing about cooking.
As she fell in love with French culture—buying food at local markets, sampling the local bistros, and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu—her life began to change forever. We follow her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingenue to internationally renowned (and internationally loved) expert in French cuisine.
Bursting with Child's adventurous and humorous spirit, My Life in France captures post-war Paris with wonderful vividness and charm.
