Dearie - Julia Childs

I haven't finished this very long and sometimes not pertinent book, but it's interesting to learn that Julia Child's family was very affluent to the extent that she was part of the "in" group and really didn't have to worry about money pretty much throughout her life. And she hated cooking as a young girl. She was a party animal most of her life, also. When she worked in the OSS in Washington DC during the war, the organization was referred to as Oh, So Social... right up her alley. After her marriage to Paul Child, they spent quite a bit of time in France and that's when she really decided to learn French cooking and threw herself into it body and soul. I guess you can do that when money is no object. Anyway, it' somewhat interesting to learn about her early family and how she got into doing cooking shows and cookbooks, but the book is a little lengthy and since it's a new release, I can't renew it again... so maybe later.
