Welcome to Litsy!

The memoir of the editor at Knopf responsible for the publishing of Julia Child‘s Mastering the Art of French Cooking & the Knopf Cooks American series.

This was so interesting! It was fascinating to read through a life so heavily influenced by a love of food and cooking. Her friendships with the authors she worked with were delightful. & recipes at the end! Unfortunately, shorter than I would have liked, it felt very bullet point. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

When I realised that this was Julia Child's editor I was intrigued as I have just finished watching the TV series 'Julia'. However, this is a very slim memoir with a third of it dedicated to recipes. As such, it just skims the surface of her life. I would have appreciated a more in depth memoir of what seems to be a very interesting life.
A soft pick.
