A review by ljrinaldi
Born Hungry: Julia Child Becomes the French Chef by Sarah Green, Alex Prud'homme

4.0

There are many picture books about women who were famous in their day, but might not be known to people now. Although I own "The Art of French cooking" by Julia Child, I was a little too young, at the time, to have watched her cooking programs. I did however watch the movie Julie and Julia, which used part of the memoir she was writing with her great nephew, just before she died, as the source for many of the Julia scenes.

And it is this great nephew who has written this picture book, a very brief history of what made Julia Child tick. How, as the title says, she was born hungry, and spent her life trying to find the food that appealed to her, and then discover how to cook it.

Simple, and to the point, with a bonus recipe at the back, as well as a little more explanation on Julia Child.

Delightful book.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
