My Life in France: The life story of Julia Child - ''exuberant, affectionate and boundlessly charming'' New York Times

By (author): 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 barely spoke a word of French and didnt know the first thing about cooking.

As she fell in love with French culture - buying food at local markets, sampling the local bistros, and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu - her life began to change forever. We follow her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingénue to internationally renowned (and internationally loved) expert in French cuisine.

Bursting with Childs adventurous and humorous spirit, My Life in France captures post-war Paris with wonderful vividness and charm.
