The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second Act

The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second Act

In this enchanting follow-up to My Life in Franceâ€”Julia Childâ€™s beloved and best-selling memoirâ€”her co-author and grandnephew, Alex Prudâ€™homme, chronicles Juliaâ€™s rise from home cook to the first celebrity chef. While at the beginning of her career Juliaâ€™s name was synonymous with French cooking, she fashioned a new identity in the 1970s, reinventing and Americanizing herself. Here we see her dealing with difficult colleagues and the challenges of fame, and ultimately using her newfound celebrity to create what would become a totally new type of food television. The story of a remarkable woman who found her true voice in middle age and profoundly shaped our relationship with food, The French Chef in America is a fascinating look at the second act of a unique culinary icon.
