What Members Thought
I had no idea that Julie Child's career as a chef began when she was 36 years old! Child's a fun read, not just for her meandering foray into the niceties of French cooking, but for her attitude. Not once does she say, "poor me" when they are shipped off to Germany and Oslo, or her husband is packed away to a nursing home. I definitely enjoyed this book.

Really enjoyed listening to this. Julia Child's attention to detail makes for great descriptions of the people and places as well as the food. She is a unique character -fun-loving, exacting, determined, humorous, adventurous, and inquisitive. This is the story of how she became interested in cooking in her mid-thirties and managed to turn her hobby into a full-blown career over the next decades. It is also the story of her marriage, which I found even more interesting.
