Book Club
7:00 P.M.
Did you know that chef extroidanaire Julia Child could
not cook before she moved to France with her husband? The book club
reads Child's memoir, My Life
in France
(Anchor, 2007, 368 pp., pbk.; Sale
price $11.96), co-written with her nephew Alex Prud'Homme.
Julia Child
singlehandedly created a new approach to American cuisine with her
cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television
show The French Chef, but as she reveals in this bestselling memoir,
she was not always a master chef.
Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband,
Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew
nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture,
buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu,
her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and
teaching. Julia’s unforgettable story – struggles with
the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom
she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year
long marriage that took them across the globe – unfolds with
the spirit so key to her success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly
capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the
last fifty years.
Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California. She graduated from
Smith College and worked for the OSS during WWII; afterwards she
lived in Paris, studied at the Cordon Bleu, and taught cooking with
Simone Beck and Louisette Bartholle, with whom she wrote the first
volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). In 1963 Boston's
WGBH launched "The French Chef" television series, which
made Julia Child a national celebrity, earning her the Peabody Award
in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966; subsequent public television shows
were "Julia Child & Company" (1978), "Julia Child
& More Company" (1980)--both of which were accompanied
by cookbooks--and "Dinner at Julia's" (1983), followed
by "Cooking with Master Chefs" (1993), "In Julia's
Kitchen with Master Chefs" (1995), and her collaboration with
Jacques Pépin, "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home"
(1999). The 40th anniversary edition of Mastering the Art of French
Cooking, Volume 1 was published in 2001.
Alex Prud'homme
is Julia's grandnephew. A freelance writer, his journalism has appeared
in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Time, and People.
He is the author of The Cell Game and the co-author (with Michael
Cherkasky) of Forewarned. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
The book
club meets on the third Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. No
membership is required. This is a free event open to all. Come join
us! For more information, please call (404) 522-0877, or email info@boundtobereadbooks.com.
