Recently, I picked up the book My Life in France.  I have to say I am really enjoying this book.  Julia Child helped to change home cooking forever and this book highlights her start with cooking and how she fell in love with it.  It’s incredibly fascinating to see her change from someone who never cooked to someone who’s life was consumed by cooking.  The book highlights her wonderful sense of humor and her love of food in a ways that you don’t get from watching her on television.  Her dedication to bringing French food to the masses was tireless and admirable.  She spent days testing recipes and rewriting recipes for an American audience.  The book highlights the ups and downs beautifully.  She had a passion for food that you just don’t find elsewhere and it shows through clearly in this book.  I would suggest this book to any real foodie or Julia Child fan.
