Julia Child: My Life in France
Julia Child single handedly awakened America to the pleasures of good cooking 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 didn’t know the first thing about cooking when she landed in France.
Indeed, when she first arrived in 1948 with her husband, Paul, 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. Julia’s unforgettable story unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as a cook and teacher and writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty years.
David Sedaris: Me Talk Pretty One Day
We love David Sedaris. We can’t help it. The man takes every day observations and turns them inside out until they’re just so absurdly funny. This collection of essays, originally published in journals like the New Yorker and Esquire, deals mostly with his father Lou, and other members of his definitely warped family. Sedaris also writes about adjusting to his life in France and his difficulty in learning the language - something many of us can completely relate to.
