Description

|
|
|
The winner of an International Association of Culinary Professionals Award for Literary Food Writing, this book presents the remarkable correspondence between Julia Child, living in 1950s France and teaching French cooking to Americans, and Avis DeVoto, her "pen pal" and literary mentor in America. Frank, bawdy, funny, exuberant, these letters show an America on the verge of political, social, and gastronomic transformation, and reveal the turbulent creation of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, one of the most influential cookbooks ever published in this country. "The women's frank, tender letters are an absolute delight to read, as much for their mouthwatering discussion of cuisine as for the palpable fondness they portray for one another. In an early note, DeVoto calls Child's evolving manuscript 'as exciting as a novel to read,' and, indeed, so are their conversations."—Booklist (starred review)
