Bookclub book as you already know from Andrea's review!
This book brings you through most of Julia Child's older life, beginning in her mid-thirties when she moves to France with her husband, Paul. She can't really cook well, but has learned to appreciate good food and drink through Paul, and is excited to move to the perfect place to learn- Paris! She takes classes at the Cordon Bleu, and realizes not only how much she loves cooking, but how much she has to learn! She puts the effort in, and we all know how well that paid off. Much of the book is focused on her writing The Art of French Cooking with new friends Simca and Louisette, and it's astounding to learn how thoroughly they tested every recipe.
I became more excited as I read, because I'd just received her book, The Art of French Cooking for Christmas. I found myself referring to the cookbook several times while reading the bookclub cook. It was great to learn so much about how it was written and illustrated.
Netflix rating? 5/5 stars.
