I enjoyed visualizing Paris and learning about Julia and her husband. A lot about food, which is to be expected!!

I thought this was great. It is always fascinating to see how someone comes to find their life's work. Great read!

This book was oddly unsatisfying. The first two thirds of the book, when Child is learning to cook, are very light in cooking stories. I appreciate the enthusiasm she gained from the city, shopping, and restaurants, but I would have liked to see a lot more of her initial successes and failures in the kitchen.

This was a fun read for me. To read about Julia Child's rise from an everyday person to a chef was fun.
Her travels, attempts and failures at cooking, the triumps of becoming a chef in the end - all show how anyone can rise to the occasion of aspiring a dream.
The parts about her husband and his work with the USIS
was interesting.

What a delightful read! It's such a pleasure diving into the joyful and adventurous life of Child. The book is beautifully written with tales of her life told in an easy-to-read fashion but with very amusing and effective description. I suddenly find myself cooking a ton, longing for Paris, and bemoaning that I'll never have a chance to meet the extraordinary character that is Julia.
I'm recommending to everyone!
