Reviews
"By far the most substantial new book on Child. . . . A lively, affectionately detailed portrait." -- The Wall Street Journal "An unabashed celebration of the mistress of haute cuisine." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A rollicking biography that captures the vision, pluck and contagious exuberance that were the essence of Julia Child." -- People Magazine   "A much-appreciated, well timed gift to us all. . . . Julia has never been more alive in the hearts and minds of those who grew up with her and ate and drank her dreams." -- The Huffington Post  "Those with a hunger for all things Julia have a substantial new biography by Bob Spitz to sink their teeth into. . . . Author and subject almost become one, as Spitz channels the spirit of Child in his own words." -- The Washington Post "[Spitz] reveals how [Child] helped redefine domesticity in the media age, transforming the way we cook, eat and think about food. . . . The book makes a strong case for Child as a 'cultural guerrilla' on par with Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan and Helen Gurley Brown." -- Newsday "[An] enthusiastic, heroically researched biography. . . . Spitz goes beyond mere history and provides a full, human portrait of Julia." -- The Economist "[A] mammoth, inspiring biography." -- The Washington Times "A comprehensive and compelling biography . . . that also functions effectively as a history of 20th-century American culture on topics ranging from the evolution of the O.S.S. to the quirks of public television." -- The Christian Science Monitor "A revelation." --Lev Grossman,  Time Magazine "The most engaging celebrity biography we've read in years. . . . Spitz manages to convey the vigor, curiosity, confidence and booming voice of a truly  remarkable woman as if she is sitting at the kitchen table with you. . . . [He] is a fantastic writer." -- LA Weekly  "This thick, fat, almost sinfully good read should definitely be put high up on the gift list for the food lover in your life. Julia would love you for this." -- Toronto Sun "[ Dearie ] takes readers beyond the image of this tall, eccentric woman with a funny voice and establishes her as one of the most distinctive cultural individuals of the 20th century." -- The Canadian Press "Juicy, masterfully written." -- The Star-Ledger "A detailed, nuanced biography of television's beloved 'French Chef.'" -- Chicago Tribune "A biography perfectly suited to its subject--as lively, fascinating, and singular as Julia Child herself." --Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition,     "A biography perfectly suited to its subject -- as lively, fascinating, and singular as Julia Child herself." Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition "It's a revelation." Lev Grossman, Time Magazine    "Spitz captures another side of [Julia's] complex personality: her fierce diligence in mastering the science as well as the art of cooking through detailed experimentation and her concern to translate the preparation of complex French recipes for readers in America . . . An engrossing biography of a woman worthy of iconic status." Kirkus Review (starred)   "In this affectionate and entertaining tribute to the witty, down-to-earth, bumptious, and passionate host of The French Chef, Spitz (The Beatles) exhaustively chronicles Child's life and career from her childhood in California through her social butterfly flitting at Smith and her work for a Pasadena department store to her stint in government service, her marriage to Paul Child, and her rise to become America's food darling with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her many television shows. . . Released to coincide with Child's centenary, Spitz's delightful biography succeeds in being as big as its subject." Publishers Weekly (starred), "By far the most substantial new book on Child. . . . A lively, affectionately detailed portrait." - The Wall Street Journal "An unabashed celebration of the mistress of haute cuisine." - San Francisco Chronicle "A rollicking biography that captures the vision, pluck and contagious exuberance that were the essence of Julia Child." - People Magazine   "A much-appreciated, well timed gift to us all. . . .
