My Life in France Dinner at Rose Water
This past summer, a wonderfully thoughtful friend gave me My Life in France, a memoir of Julia Child written by her grand-nephew, author and Brooklyn resident Alex Prud’homme. While much of my own reading centers on food these days, this book stands out as one of my all-time favorites. It’s the charming and captivating story of Paul and Julia Child and their years spent in Paris, Marseille and Provence in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Julia Child’s embracing of her surroundings, her ability to transform herself, her endless curiousity about cooking, and tireless efforts on her series Mastering the Art of French Cooking are truly inspiring – not to mention the humor, humility and bumbling grace she brought to everything she did. Prud’homme compiled interviews and letters into a beautiful narrative that is an infectious tribute to the beloved chef and author.
The New York chapter of the American Institute of Wine & Food presents a special dinner, talk and book signing with My Life in France author Alex Prud’homme at Rose Water restaurant. Chef Ethan Kostbar, who always puts an emphasis on fresh, local and regional ingredients from organic and sustainable sources, will prepare a special menu honoring the memory of Julia Child and her years in France.
Bon Appetit!
