Julia Child is a world famous cook, author, and television personality. She co-authored the famous cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking as well as several other cooking books. She was also the face of the television program The French Chef. Child became one of the most well-known cooks of her generation, inspiring people to learn about food and cooking. She wrote this book with Alex Prud'homme, who was Paul Child's great-nephew.
The reasons that Julia wrote this book with Prud'homme were to share her personal memories of France and her life. Her other books focus on food and cooking, with less personal detail. This book focuses on her life, experiences, family members, and what she learned over the course of her life. It does not include recipes or cooking instructions.
The intended audience for the book is, first and foremost, fans of Julia's work and books. For those who watched her television program or use her cookbooks, the book gives a back stage look at what Julia's life was like and how she developed her talents and interests. In this, the authors succeed. The book shows Julia's life and the experiences that shaped her career. The reader gets to see personal information about Julia and about how she thought about her family, France, cooking, the people she worked with, and her career.
