As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto by Julia Child

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fans of Julia Child will welcome the insights offered by this correspondence which began when Julia Child wrote Bernard DeVoto, responding to an article he wrote about knives. Avis DeVoto, his wife, replied and thus began a friendship. This is a fascinating collection of letters which not only covers the evolution of MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING, but also offers commentary on the political issues of the day, a peak into the life of Avis and Bernard DeVoto, and an insight into Julia's experiences living in various European postings through Paul Child's work for the government.
