France is a Feast
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Julia Child in a tube top! Julia Child's husband Paul was an artist and photographer. This book collects a selection of his photos from their time in France, the period during which Julia learned to cook and during which Julie & Julia and My Life in France are set. We get to see Julia before she was famous, enjoying rooftop picnics and playing with her cat, Minette. We also get photos of her and Paul together and Julia with her (even taller) sister, Dort. And there are a few photos of Julia in her tiny Parisian kitchen. I love this window into the private Julia and her relationship with Paul. There is also text accompanying the photos that tells some of Paul's story, which is romantic and intriguing. Paul Child was a twin and led an interesting life. Julia was not the first love of his life. He lived for years with a divorcee 15 years his senior, Edith Kennedy, who passed away a few years before he met Julia. Paul and Julia met during their WWII era service in the OSS, the precursor of the CIA.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Book is available on Amazon, but you can see a selection of some of the best photos in this Bon Appetit article:
