Title: I can't believe I spent money on the hardcover version
Review: I was excited to purchase this book and read about the daunting task of cooking through Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It was one of the worst books I have ever read. The author is a whining, self-centered, profane individual-no wonder Julia Child refused to connect with her. Living near Santa Barbara, many of us have had contact with Mrs. Child, and her joy of life and courtesy to all came across beautifully. The movie was good-the premise of cooking through French Cooking great-I bet Julia Child would have loved to meet the movie's more likeable and gracious character. I had to stop reading this horrible, trashy book not quite half-way through, then skimmed the ending. Sad
