My Life in France: The life story of Julia Child - 'exuberant, affectionate and boundlessly charming' New York Times

'Exuberant, affectionate and boundlessly charming.' The New York Times When Julia Child arrived in Paris in 1948, a six foot-two-inch, thirty-six-year-old, rather loud and unserious Californian, she spoke barely a few words of French and did not know the first thing about cooking. As she fell in love with French culture, buying food at local markets, sampling bistros and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life began to change forever. My Life in France follows her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingénue to internationally renowned (and loved) expert in French cuisine. Bursting with adventurous and humorous spirit, Julia Child captures post-war Paris with wonderful vividness and charm.
