Though this is a book written for children, it's guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of any food-loving adult as well. The short but extremely intriguing overview of Julia Child's life is complemented by charming illustrations. (If a reader isn't too familiar with her biography, there will be a few surprises in store as well. Including sharks!) The description of Julia's life-changing meal at a French restaurant is lovingly described, and the facial expressions depicted by the illustrator convey warm emotion throughout the book. (The total effect is to make you very hungry!) The fact that the author was personally acquainted with Julia and her husband makes for an intimate, heartfelt style. This book will likely whet your appetite to learn more about Julia Child's life and cooking. That's why it's so nice that at the back are listed websites, TV shows, and books to find out more. There's also a simple recipe for scrambled eggs that children can try. Though it's not complex, it is written in a way to help them really pay attention to the changes that are taking place in food while it cooks. A delightful little book for either children or adults! Thanks to NetGalley and Astra Publishing House for my digital review copy! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In Paris, Julia devoured recipe books, shopped in outdoor markets, consumed all kinds of foods, and whipped through culinary school. And although she wasn't always successful in the kitchen, she was determined to "master the art" of French cooking. Through perseverance and grit, Julia became a chef who shared her passion with the world, making cooking fun, and turning every meal into a special event." --Publisher's website.

Reading this book while hungry is not fully advisable however. It made me want to eat some pomme frities and some beouf bourguinon. French food is good...mostly. And Julia Child made cooking exciting to the everyman and woman! While I don't love "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" personally, I love what Julia Child brought to the craft.
This book does suffer from the lack of a pronunciation guide. ( )
