About this title: This delightful memoir of Julia's years in Paris, Marseille, and Provence opens with Paul and Julia--a tall, wide-eyed girl from Pasadena who can't cook and doesn't speak a word of French--disembarking in Le Havre, and ends with the launching of the two "Mastering" cookbooks and Julia winning the heart of America as "The French Chef."

"Julia Child's own account of her years abroad at the beginning of her cooking career are a saucy complement both to the recent film, "Julie and Julia" and to her classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking. If readers don't already own Mastering. . ., they will want to go right out and buy a copy, if only to read the carefully crafted informal instructions. Julia and Paul's marriage plays a major role in the book, shedding light on their loving partnership, wit, and social circles.
Child's love of cooking, her enthusiasm for new tastes and experiences, and her general love of life make this upbeat account a pleasure to read."
"I was not all that impressed with Julia Child when she was on TV, never really watched her, except in passing. I don't really care for game shows, reality shows, cooking shows and the like, but the day I had time to spend while I waited for my car to be serviced, I found myself immersed in her "Life in France," and almost took it with me. Now I have my own copy and am enjoying it very much..."
"I saw the movie first, which I enjoyed very much. The book, of course, goes into more detail. It is a pleasant book to read. Reading the pages you can feel her love of food and coooking. Considering how rich and fat French cooking is I am surprised that Julia Child lived to be 94 and her husband 92. Bon Apetit!"
"Better than the movie, more detail about Julia's learning to cook and her adventures in France. Written in a way that you almost feel like you are sitting there in Julia's presence as she tells you her story."
