France is a Feast: The Photographic Journey of Paul and Julia Child
By Alex Prud'homme
208 pages;
Thames & Hudson
When did the legendary chef fall
in love with French cooking and the country that produces it? Her husband's
Edward Weston–influenced images (contextualized by grandnephew Prud’homme)
serve up the couple’s joyful journey, sampling life, going "from cloud to
cloud," savoring it all. And for those who think of Julia Child as more gawky
than sensual, prepare to stand corrected. These are a lover’s images, and Child
the radiant muse.
