A review by trin
My Life in France by Julia Child, Alex Prud'homme

4.0

A lovely, rich memoir of food, France, and the fifties. It's very encouraging to watch Julia discover her life's great passion later in life (she is about my age for the beginning/bulk of this book), and also trash talk historical conservative assholes like Roy Cohn. But mostly this is a lot of wonderful descriptions of types of food and styles of living that are sadly now out of reach. God, I would kill to attend one of Julia and Paul's decadent dinner parties. (My poor tummy would need days to recover after, but it would be worth it.)
