Julia Child was an amazing cook who changed the cooking world in America by bringing French food to the forefront and challenging everyone from chefs to housewives to learn more about cooking. Nancy Barr becomes one of Julia's assistants and for nearly 18 years, she worked backstage with Julia. She helped prep the food and prepared for TV shows. The work was challenging but she loved the opportunity to work and learn from Julia Child. Most interesting of all was what an amazing person and Julia was. Even in her 80's, she was vibrant, active and eager to work and learn about the culinary world.
This book was an engaging and entertaining look at the work involved in food production and television. I also enjoyed the discussion of writing cookbooks. Best of all were the warm and funny antics about Julia Child. I ended up loving Julia more than ever for her charm and zest for living.
