My Life in France
by Julia Child
So after reading this book, I am very much interested in French cooking, even though it sounds kind of nasty at times and terribly difficult most other times. This book is Julia Child's memoir of moving to France with her husband, discovering a love for French food and cooking, taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, writing her famous Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and filming The French Chef. Basically I am just a sucker for books that describe food and European countries with gusto and enthusiasm. And I definitely admire people who throw themselves wholeheartedly into something they absolutely love. This book is inspiring on many levels -- try new recipes, work on language skills, travel, take more photographs, be committed to a labor of love project, enjoy yourself when you do these things. Julia Child is officially my new life coach. WWJCD? What Would Julia Child Do?

ReplyDeleteNext, you need to read Julie and Julia to read about boiling down bones for marrow and cooking all the other disgusting things in Mastering the Art of French cooking.
it's definitely on my list. and i think the movie with meryl streep is a combination of my life in france and julie and julia.
