In the unmistakable words of Julia Child, here is a summary of this delightful memoir: "In Paris in the 1950s, I had the supreme fortune to study with a remarkably able group of chefs. From them I learned why good French food is an art, and why it makes such sublime eating: nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should... In all the years since that succulent meal, I have yet to lose the feelings of wonder and excitement that it inspired in me. I can still almost taste it. And thinking back on it now reminds me that the pleasures of the table, and of life, are infinite-- toujours bon appetite!"
Julia Child was a pioneer of the popular cooking movement that has brought gourmet cooking to the average American's kitchen. Her passion for French food, her unfailing research into recipes and the science of food, along with her sense of adventure are evident on each page. She made French cooking accessible not only through her cookbooks but also in the early days of public television. A remarkable woman along with her husband Paul, and her partners they all achieved so much due to Julia's unfailing "wonder and excitement."
