A propos de cet article

As new condition light blue boards, dark blue spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Alex Prud'homme; Author Dedication; Introduction: Julia's Second Act; Acknowledgments; Notes; Bibliography; Index; Illustration Credits; and A Note About the Author. Illustrated with 36 black-and-white photographs. Small remainder dot at lower page edge. "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.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
