Recently flew from Del to Chn on Indigo from T2 terminal. Flight was on time and so was the boarding. Flight was over subscribed and I was offered Indigo credit points for shifting to later flights, which I refused. As usual sat on the XL rows, very comfortable.

As Always, Julia includes the majority of letters written between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto from the moment Avis replies to a fan letter Julia wrote to Avis's husband Bernard regarding an article he wrote about knives.

The DeVotos are in the midst of the political and cultural action in New England while the Childs are moving between various appointed locations while Paul worked for the OSS Paris, Marseilles, Berlin, Oslo, and a few stints back in the states. Julia was a staunch Democrat and very interested in politics, so many of the letters are full of discussions on what was going on with Eisenhower and McCarthy, up through the election of JFK. Of course, being Julia Child, the heart of the conversation is almost always food.

This is the same time span of the well-known journey to getting the first volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking published. I knew Avis as a rather periphery figure, but the letters reveal just how essential their relationship was in the book making it to the right person at the right publishing house, and how much leg work Avis herself did in the states to check on American ingredients and kitchen utensils, despite the fact that she started out as a woman with staff who usually did the cooking for her! Their relationship grows, and the letters discuss their meetings, the first one occurring seven years after they start writing.

It is an uplifting portrait of a meaningful friendship, and the overly honest Julia had me laughing more than once. Aug 15, Joanna rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a wonderful collection of letters between friends that span many years of growth and change. As you read, you get the sense that Julia Child is blossoming into the chef that she will one day become, while Avis is navigating a new relationship to the world after her husband's death. But more than that, and more than the mouth watering recipes they exchange, Avis and Julia provide a fascinating chronicle of America and the world during McCarthyism.

Avis' eldest son is fighting in the Korean War, and the course of history and our country seem much more unsettled as they unfold in real epistolary time. You also get a feel for how progressive Julia Child's politics were. Not only as a stalwart Democrat, but also on burgeoning social issues of her time. Julia is as firm in her friendships and loyalties as she is in her cooking instructions, and although she does compare homosexuality to having a hare-lip expresses her opinion that gay men and lesbians need the support as opposed to shunning of society.

You truly get a sense of each woman through their correspondence. They write long letters that contain truths about their worries and their hopes and their plans. This book is almost a love letter to this particular type of letter writing, which may not exist any longer in the internet era. Oct 12, Kristin Kritters Ramblings rated it did not like it Shelves: Well, this book was a hard and long read. I am a fan of Julia Childs and loved reading about her life in the parts of Julie and Julia, but this book was rough.

This was a great way to get to know two women who changed the face of not only cookbooks, but food on tv. The structure of the book was appealing - but I had a few issues. I did not enjoy the parts of the letters between Avis and Julia that pertained to politics Well, this book was a hard and long read. I did not enjoy the parts of the letters between Avis and Julia that pertained to politics. I skimmed sweetly over it to get back to the writing of the cookbooks. The length of the book was overwhelming. I am not sure if this is due to my reading it on the computer, but I felt like a few to some of the letters could have been ommitted to make for quicker reading.

The one positive take away - is that I enjoyed reading the extensive work that went into publishing the cookbook. The rounds of edits and revisions was beyond comprehension. I would send this book off to friends that like a book formatted in letters and who don't mind reading about the politics of the time. Aug 01, Susan rated it really liked it.

This is an unusual book as it is almost exclusively correspondence between two women that started by chance when Julia Child wrote a letter to Bernard DeVoto commenting on an article he had written about knives. That letter was answered by his wife, Avis, who did a lot of Bernard's secretarial work. From that small and chance beginning, a strong friendship bloomed that lasted almost forty years until Avis' death. The editor, Joan Reardon, has added a little summary at the beginning of each of th This is an unusual book as it is almost exclusively correspondence between two women that started by chance when Julia Child wrote a letter to Bernard DeVoto commenting on an article he had written about knives.

The editor, Joan Reardon, has added a little summary at the beginning of each of the sections and sprinkled photographs throughout, but mostly it is the correspondence. I have read other books by and about Julia Child but this is the one that made me truly appreciate how much work went into "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and how difficult it was to get it published. The letters contain a lot of political commentary, some of which was familiar to me, some which surprised me, and some which meant nothing to me, and a lot of cooking details, most of which went over my head.

There were times when the book put me to sleep, especially if I was sleepy to begin with. But what shone through most of all, was the love and support these two women gave each other. Feb 09, Joy rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book is a treasure of a collection of letters between Julia Child and her penpal-turned-friend and close confidante, Avis DeVoto.

Theirs is a friendship that's so sweet, caring, candid and supportive.

Their messages span topics from cookery, social interactions, shopping, to politics. They are highly opinionated women who are not afraid to say what they think. Their writing is never boring, but amusing one way or another.

I've read several books on Julia Child, but nothing really gives a really good picture of how she was as a person than this.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Julia Child and a bonus if you like letter-writing, too. Apr 22, Megan rated it really liked it. This book was a beast! It took me forever to get through it, but I'm do glad I did! Joan Reardon presents us with a real labor of love, an edited compilation of correspondence between Julia Child and her pen pal Avis DeVoto.

They were both amazing women and I felt like I wanted them to be some sort of maternal figure in my life. The letters really show how much time and effort when into the Julia's cookbook on both their parts. It found myself consulting google me Julia's cookbook to learn more This book was a beast! It found myself consulting google me Julia's cookbook to learn more about things mentioned in their letters. It was interesting to read of their political views and laughed loudly when I realized some of the scathing words they used to describe the Republicans totally hold merit today as well.

Though it took me a long time to get through this book there are A LOT of letters , I loved every minute of it.

Reading Julia and Avis' correspondence really made me feel as though I got to know them as people, Julia's letters spoke in the same voice as the one I fell in love with when I read My Life In France, and reminded me of all the reasons I love and respect her so much.

Letters between Julia and Avis reveal what it was like to live in the McCarthy era; their dialogue is that of two people who move in circles of people interested in writing, publishing, conservation, and politics.

This book is giant! Still, I'm giving it four stars because what I read of it, I loved. The letters show two people unafraid of their own passions, approaching food and cooking and writing with enthusiasm and love. The letters are smart and funny.

Dec 29, Jasmine rated it really liked it Shelves: So, an epistolary book about food, Julia Child, and Mastering the Art of French cooking was basically written just to make me happy, I think. I just finished it, after reading on and off for about a month. I loved this book, though the middle got a little slow.

The first and last thirds of the book were a delight, though, and I was so sad when I got to the end. I loved seeing how political and liberal! Julia was, and the friendship between Julia and Avis was just beautiful. Jan 27, Marla Stanton rated it really liked it.
