Despite her many years on television, Julia Child was always a private person in this book, knowing clearly it would be her last, she finally speaks - often with great candor - of the close relationships that shaped her life: her husband, her father, her sister, her colleagues Simone Beck and James Beard, and her many friends. In the telling of her life story, she describes those missing ingredients: an insatiable curiosity and continuing desire to learn, her incredible capacity for hard work, her ability to make friends on all levels, and the close partnership she enjoyed with her husband.
It was easy to suspect that there was some ingredient missing, and this book finally identifies it: Julia herself. Julia Child has always been a paragon of culinary talent, and those of us who bought her first volumes learned quickly that there was a great chasm between reading one of her recipes and turning it into the great creations she made so effortlessly.
