"This enchanting follow-up to My Life in France - Julia Child's beloved and best-selling memoir - tells the story of the remarkable woman who found her true voice in middle age and profoundly shaped the way we eat today. Here Julia's grandnephew and My Life in France co-author Alex Prud'homme chronicles Julia's rise from home cook to our first celebrity chef. Following the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia set her sights on the rapidly expanding medium of television. Hailed as America's first lady of French food, she became a household name in the 1960s. But she grew restless, and by reinventing and re-Americanizing herself, she fashioned a second career in the 1970s. As her star rose, she moved away from her "French Chef" persona and began performing as "Julia Child." These years were both some of the best and some of the worst of Julia's life. From documenting culinary traditions in France to covering a state dinner at the White House to her attempt to commemorate the foods of the original thirteen colonies, Julia's shows brought her into living rooms across the country. She railed against nouvelle cuisine and vegeterianism, was spoofed by Saturday Night Live, and broke away from public television to gain an even wider audience on Good Morning America. But even as Julia reached the pinnacle of professional success, she and her husband, Paul, suffered great personal losses at home. The French Chef in America also tells the story of Julia's most important relationships: her decades-long friendship with her editor, Judith Jones; her mentoring of culinary talents, such as Jacques Pepin and Emeril Lagasse; her complicated but deeply affectionate bond with her "French sister" and co-author, Simca Beck - and, of course, her loving marriage to Paul Child. Filled with Paul's photographs, family snapshots, celebrity portraits, and more, The French Chef in America is a fascinating look at the second act of a unique culinary icon." - from the inner front jacket flap.
