I didn’t know really anything about Julia Child before reading this, but a friend recommended it before I travelled to Paris the first time. It is a lovely read, very casual and familiar tone. It’s so FULL of descriptions of food that I can’t keep track of all the things she lists and have decided to try everything when I’m there. 80% of this book is truly about food and cooking, and while it isn’t redundant, too long, or too slow in pace, I do feel that it is somewhat repetitive in nature. It’s one description of delicious food after another—not necessarily bad, but not for everyone!
