Excerpt from Fifty Years of My Life For some years past my wife and children have been asking me to give some account of the race from which I spring, and of myself, its living representative. A compli ance with the first part of the request presented no great difficulty - the materials were at hand, and only wanted putting together.1 To do the rest of the bidding - to be come the hero of my own tale - has not proved so easy a matter; for although I have seen much of the world, literally and figuratively, it has not been my wont, as my family well know, to commit to writing my thoughts on things seen, heard, or done. On two occasions, it is true, I kept regular diaries, but these had reference to journeys which lay out of the ordinary track of travellers, and have already been laid before the public I was set, as it were, to furnish the tale of bricks without any allow ance of straw.

My Life in France
Author: Julia Child
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307264726
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Julia's story of her transformative years in France in her own words is "captivating ... her marvelously distinctive voice is present on every page.” (San Francisco Chronicle). Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia’s unforgettable story—struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globe—unfolds with the spirit so key to Julia’s success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of America’s most endearing personalities.

First, it has been a great pleasure to me to have been of use to him, and in ever SO small a degree to have been the means of inducing him to jot down his experiences, for the amusement of his friends and the General Public. I trust also that it may be borne in mind that I have as much as possible endeavoured to preserve his style of composition, and his peculiar phraseology - not invariably an easy task. His.
