Do I need a dictonary because my "cooking-english" is not very good?

It was nice to read but I would not have missed anything if the book would have had about 50 to 100 pages less.

How nice! I am really looking forward to read this book.

@sunneschii: How nice to read from you. I missed you in the German forum and thought you might not be around bookcrossing at all any more.

The book tells the story of Julia Child´s life. After the war she moved to Paris with her husband Paul, who was working in the US foreign service. The book tells us of a long passed Paris. But mainly it describes Julia Childs devotion to French cooking. Having found her mission quite late in life, she becomes a devoted cook. What I found most impressing: The ling long time she was working on her book, the simple trust that what she is doing is good, the devotion with which she writes recipe for recipe, year for year. Also I admire the inspiration Julia Child seems to have all her life.
In my opinion she can really be an ideal: She is no model at all, quite big and clumsy, but always confidet, because it are her good mood and energy that count. She sticks to her dream, she takes life, as it comes, she is affectionate, passionate, enjoys life and likes enjoment. These gifts are rare nowadays where noone dares to take a second helping of anything.
I really enjoyed this book, it is funny and inspiring. And also it is quite informative about the historical time where it is set, McCarthy and so on.
I also like the photographs.

LILO37FEE! Such kindness!

I established my wishlist so that I could participate in the Wishlist Tag Game. I never anticipated that a kindly BCer would treat me to a book just because!

I will spend the summer in France this year and I can't think of a more fitting read to set me on my way... Once I've read it, I would love to pass it on to my girlfriend {whom I shall spend plenty of time with in France} who will take it home to Brisbane, Australia... We shall see what comes!
