The French Chef in America
The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second Act | Alex Prud'homme
8 posts | 10 read | 10 to read
The enchanting story of Julia Child's years as TV personality and beloved cookbook author--a sequel in spirit to My Life in France--by her great-nephew Julia Child is synonymous with French cooking, but her legacy runs much deeper. Now, her great-nephew and My Life in France coauthor vividly recounts the myriad ways in which she profoundly shaped how we eat today. He shows us Child in the aftermath of the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, suddenly finding herself America's first lady of French food and under considerable pressure to embrace her new mantle. We see her dealing with difficult colleagues and the challenges of fame, ultimately using her newfound celebrity to create what would become a totally new type of food television. Every bit as entertaining, inspiring, and delectable as My Life in France, The French Chef in America uncovers Julia Child beyond her "French chef" persona and reveals her second act to have been as groundbreaking and adventurous as her first.

Loved this book! I kept reading bits out loud to Corey, particularly quotes from Julia herself. She was such a fascinating person and I had no idea what a profound effect she had on American cooking and food culture. Now I want all her cookbooks and I want to watch all her shows. Bon appetit! #bookstagram #books #amreading #cookerybookery #juliachild #chef #cooking

I love browsing the new releases at the bookstore and finding a brand new title I had no idea existed but that I know I'll love and need to buy immediately.
