Summary
"Julia Child was born hungry, but she was not born a cook. It took time for her to become the famous creator of delectable concoctions. During World War II, Julia Child developed her first recipe -- for shark repellent! -- and was later inspired to learn how to cook by a life-changing luncheon in France. While living in Paris, Julia devoured recipe books, shopped in outdoor markets, consumed all kinds of foods, and whipped through classes at one of the world's most renowned culinary schools. Though she wasn't aways successful in the kitchen, Julia Child was determined to "master the art" of French cooking. She became America's first celebrity TV chef and one of its most entertaining teachers. Julia Child believed that cooking should be fun and every meal a special event. Her favorite phrase was <i>Bon appétit</i>, or, enjoy your meal!" --Book jacket
