(with Alex Prud'homme)
A by-word in America in the 50s and 60s for superb but accessible French cooking - Child rose to public attention again with the blog and book on which the film 'Julie & Julia' is based. She was provoked into writing this memoir, published posthumously. A sophisticated lady, witty, caustic, clever and observant, she never fails to poke fun at herself, the French, the Americans and life in general. Delicious recipes as well. Not to miss.
