My Life in France by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme, 317 pagesIn 1948, Julia Child moved to France with her husband Paul, a diplomat working to strengthen the post-WWII friendship between the U.S. and France. Julia knew no French, nor did she know much about cooking. But her determination to learn the language, embrace the culture, and learn to cook led her to enroll in French language classes and in a cooking course at the Cordon Bleu. This memoir recollects her years in France, learning the French style of cooking, writing cookbooks, and endlessly testing recipe after recipe. It's a fun book, one that makes me want to hop a plane and eat my way through France.
