Synopsis "The Last Interview "

A delightful collection of interviews with the beloved Julia Child--"The French Chef," author, and television personality who revolutionized home cooking in 20th century America This delightful collection of interviews with "The French Chef" Julia Child traces her life from her first stab at a writing career fresh out of college; to D.C., Sri Lanka, and Kunming where she worked for the Office of Strategic Services (now the CIA); to Paris where she and her husband Paul, then a member of the State Department, lived after World War II, and where Child attended the famous cooking school Le Cordon Bleu. From there, Child catapulted to fame--first with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961 and the launch of her home cooking show, "The French Chef" in 1963. In this volume of carefully selected interviews, Child's charm, guile, and no-nonsense advice are on full, irresistibly delicious display. Includes an Introduction from Helen Rosner, food critic for the New Yorker.

(California 1912 - 2004) She graduated from Smith College and during World War II worked for the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) in Ceylon and China, where she met Paul Child whom she married and moved to Paris with. After studying at Le Cordon Bleu and having worked in the kitchens of distinguished French chefs, in 1951 Julia Child opened her own cooking school, L'École des Trois Gourmandes, with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle. Together, they wrote the first volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). In 1963, Boston WGBH premiered the television program The French Chef, which made Julia Child a national star and with which she won the Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Julia Child was decorated with the French government's Legion of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003.
