My Life in France by Julia Child
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 didn't know the first thing about cooking. This work follows her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingenue to internationally renowned expert in French cuisine.
Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California. She worked for the OSS during World War II; afterwards she lived in Paris, studied at the Cordon Bleu and taught cooking with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, with whom she wrote the first volume of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"(1961). From 1963 to 1973 she presented "The French Chef" on American television, and several other television shows and numerous cookbooks followed. She died in 2004. Alex Prud'homme, Paul Child's grandnephew, is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in "The New York Times", "The New Yorker", "Vanity Fair" and "Time". He is the author of "The Cell Game" and the co-author of "Forewarned".
