Julia Child is synonymous with French cooking, but her legacy runs much deeper. Now, her great-nephew, bestselling author Alex Prud'homme vividly recounts the myriad ways in which Child profoundly shaped how we eat today.
The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second Act is a sequel in spirit to
My Life in France, following the story of Julia Child as she deals with difficult colleagues and the challenges of fame, ultimately using her newfound celebrity to create what would become a totally new type of food television.

Every now and then we encounter a new book that we're so excited about we want to shout it from the rooftops, so we have this special designation to distinguish it from the rest: TC V.I.B. (very impressive book)! That means it's a true stand-out in a season of many excellent and compelling new books.

Our in-store book clubs are open to everyone, and you are welcome to drop in on one meeting, or join us for every discussion.
