En savoir plus sur le livre

With the humor of Bridget Jones and the vitality of Augusten Burroughs, the author recounts her journey of conquering every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking while saving her soul. At 30, living in a rundown Queens apartment and stuck in a dead-end secretarial job, she craves a break from monotony. To shake things up, she embarks on a wild challenge: cooking all 524 recipes from her mother's dog-eared copy of Julia Child's classic within a year. Initially, she thinks it will be a breeze, but as she transitions from simple dishes like Potage Parmentier to complex aspics and crépes, she realizes the depth of the culinary adventure ahead. With Julia’s stern voice guiding her, she frequents the local butcher for kidneys and sweetbreads, sends her husband on late-night butter runs, and often serves dinner past midnight. Along the way, she learns to mold the perfect Orange Bavarian, extract marrow from bones, and even finds joy in liver. Ultimately, she transforms her kitchen into a space of creativity and joy, eclipsing her previous mundane existence with humor, hysteria, and perseverance.
