Description
Julia Child was born in California in 1912 and served in the Army during World War II. It was during her time abroad that she discovered a passion for French food, which led to her enrolling in Le Cordon Bleu cooking school after her service.
Child's love of French cuisine eventually inspired her to write Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961. The book became a huge success, and its popularity paved the way for Julia Child's television show, The French Chef, which premiered in 1963. This biography tells the story of this beloved chef, author, and TV personality.
