Carol C. (dicentra-tn) reviewed on 9/11/2009

Helpful Score: 1

This is not really a book about cooking (I like MFK Fisher for that), but I didn't expect it to be; it's about setting goals for yourself and finding something you believe in, and making changes in your life despite the difficulties in doing so. I did wish there had been more about Julia Child, but as is pointed out in both the book and the movie, the Julia Child here is really an idealized version. The cooking and personal stories are entertaining - much better than, say, ANY night watching television - and I'm glad to know, without having to go through it myself, that aspics really are as disgusting as they sound!
