so-so
I love Julia Child, and this popped up in the search results when looking for books about France. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I learned about some interesting people, including the Childs (love them!), James Beard and M.F.K. Fisher. On the other hand, the title is very misleading, as this big meeting of these famous cooks and writers only takes place in one chapter of the book. It‘s very repetitive, and the author‘s need ⬇️
JenlovesJT47 To reintroduce us to the main characters multiple times in each chapter really started to grate on my nerves. Some sections were fascinating, like when they would all get together and cook a big dinner. Other parts were incredibly boring. Overall, I‘d give this 2.5 ⭐️ I learned some things so I can‘t say it was a waste. Only recommended for serious foodies or those interested in the lives of these famous cooks/authors. 5y
