This was a really great read. Not only do you find out about Julia Child's journey learning how to cook French food but you also get a slice of how life was in the 1950's as well. I did get hungry reading the book and I also broke down and got her cookbooks. The book goes into quite a bit of detail about writing the cook book and was a surprise to me how many times it was rejected. If you like bios or travel books about Europe this will be an enjoyable read.
