This past month I have been reading
Appetite For Life - The Biography of Julia Child
by Noel Riley Fitch. It is an incredibly detailed book of Julia Child's life, a bit too detailed at times, but still very interesting to read.
Appetite For Life chronicles Julia's road from being a daring yet goofy California girl to meeting her husband Paul Child and to eventually creating
Mastering The Art of French Cooking
and her television program
The French Chef. What I find most inspiring is Julia's enthusiasm and hard work ethic, as well as Paul and Julia's modern marriage of true team work. I still have 80 pages left of this book, and I desperately trying to finish before I leave for vacation today. I wouldn't mind reading it, but it is rather heavy and I would like to carry a book 300 pages lighter. I have so many food-related books piling up in my book case that I thought I would share.
