Julia Child lovingly and expertly changed cooking as we knew it throughout her life and career. Her passion for food was contagious, as was her endearing charm. On her birthday today, celebrate her life through Bob Spitz's new biography, Dearie.
Last Saturday, I conveniently found myself at home opening a bottle of wine and tackling one of my favorite dishes, Coq au Vin, from the Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbook. Nothing gets me in the mood for French cooking more than spending a couple of hours revisiting France through Julia Child's eyes, so before I rolled up my sleeves, I cracked open my well-worn copy of her memoir, My Life in France.
What is it we do when we cook? According to Judith Jones, “We connect again to the earth, to the source of our food, and we bind to one another in the sharing of it, the breaking of bread together, the celebrating of life.” In her 2007 memoir The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food, Jones takes us along on her personal and professional food journey, indeed a celebration of life, and imparts her wisdom every step of the way.
