Title: Amusing, but...
Review: I read this a couple years ago -- one of my fascinations in life is good foodie food, and another is reading memoirs. This book does combine these two aspects of a considered life.I read the book, and while I enjoyed it, and stayed to the end, I really wouldn't provide more than two and a half stars to this one. Since reading it, I've discovered the real world of food blogs on the Internet, with many authors who blow her book away. The concept of making every single recipe in Julia Child's "The Art of French Cooking" was an excellent one. I was amused by her trials and tribulations with some of the more arcane recipes and ingredients, and I'm glad she preserved onwards.But afterwards? I felt like I'd just over-eaten at an Outback, or something. Filling, but I think a few less metaphoric carbs would have helped this meal tremendously.
