Lately, I have developed a huge interest on all things Julia Child. I have ordered many of her books and her DVDs from Amazon. It is no surprise that a lot of people are obsessed with her. It is much more obvious after reading “My Life in France”. As the title suggests, it is a memoir of her life and culinary adventures during her years in Paris. Her passion about food, all the details she can remember about the food she ate 50 years ago and how she takes all of these so seriously is mind blowing. More on my recent Julia Child obsession later…
I also ordered “Baking with Julia”, another amazing cookbook, this time adorned with Dorie Greenspan’s wonderful writing. Her detailed descriptions, expertise and passion makes all the difference. I am hooked on her writing ever since I bought “Chocolate Deserts by Pierre Herme”.
