Food and France

I just finished reading My Life in France by Julia Child and her grandnephew. I enjoyed it very much. It chronicles the story of how she became interested -- obsessed -- with food when she and her husband moved to Paris. She was about 37 or so at the time and she became mesmerized with the French cuisine and way of life. It is interesting and often charming.

The book also tells the story of how she became a chef and how she made her love of food into a career writing cookbooks, and how her television show began.

If you like to cook, this book will likely appeal to you. Bon Appetit!
