Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child * Mark Spitz

“The stunning story of how Julia Child transformed herself into the cult figure who touched off a food revolution that has gripped the country for more than fifty years. A genuine rebel who took the pretensions that embellished French cuisine and fricasseed them to a fare-thee-well, paving the way for a new era of American food—not to mention blazing a new trail in television—Child redefined herself in middle age, fought for women’s rights, and forever altered how we think about what we eat.” Paperback Gently used; see photos. ~5.25" x 8" 529 pgs + Index
