ALA Booklist (Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 CST 2011)

Books in the continuing Women of Achievement series offer dependable, standard biographies of women, with an emphasis on Americans, past and present. Each volume presents a well-considered portrayal of its subject in the text, supplemented with sidebars and illustrations (mainly photos, in color when available). Julia Child provides an engaging introduction to the chef as a privileged but individualistic woman who took some time to find her way in life but eventually shared her passion for French cooking with the world. In each book, the back matter includes a chronology, notes for the many quotes, a source bibliography, and lists of recommended books and websites. Solid fare for the biography collection.

With a bubbling personality, oversized enthusiasm, and obvious talent and love for cooking, Julia Child almost singlehandedly started a cooking revolution when she burst onto television screens in the 1960s. Before long, Americans inspired by her example began cooking French food at home in droves and truly appreciating the pleasure that preparing good food can provide. Yet Child did not grow up knowing how to cook or even with an interest in fine cuisine. Her story is one of an American woman's quest to find herself, to find her passion, and then to find a way to share that passion with the world. It is the story of how Julia McWilliams of Pasadena, California, transformed herself into Julia Child, The French Chef.
