"Judith Jones introduced Julia Child to American cooking and has spent her life perfecting the art of eating well. Its a bit light but I enjoyed learning more about the "early days" when Americans weren't interested in cooking or particularly what they were eating. She's more of a dig up your own mushrooms in the woods kind of gal but her life story is readable and interesting if you are at all interested in how we ended up with Food Network or so many cooking magazines."
"Judith Jone's life in and out of publishing seems to have revolved around food and there are many worse ways to live. While the book may not convince you to try sweetbreads, you may find yourself with a list of cookbooks as long as your arm, and trying out her recipe for butterscotch cookies. The book reads like a who's who of foodies, from James Beard to(of course) Julia Child, and while it's fascinating to hear her talk about the evolution of the foodie world making its way from the upper echelons to the home cook, occasionally it seems to devolve into a list of names with very little engagement into the relationships and stories behind those names. Nevertheless, this memoir of the woman behind the publishing of both the Diary of Anne Frank and Mastering the Art of French Cooking has lived and interesting life well worth reading about. Just make sure you've got something to snack on."
"A short book - about 200 pages - this is a memoir of the editor of many cookbook authors, including Julia Child. My favorite parts were when Mrs. Jones shared her philosophies about food and how it connects us to nature and to our history. She is also very encouraging about being inventive in using the items you have on hand and not worrying about following someone else's recipe. It is a bit like she has sat down with you in the kitchen to chat about her experiences, which are fascinating, but leave you wanting more."
"I picked this up on a whim at work - I don't read many memoirs or biographies, but the food theme made this one sound interesting. I appreciated the tone - fairly reserved about personal matters, but much more gushy when it came to food and describing her 'life in food.' I was particularly interested by the bits about cookbook history and editing. The pictures are well-chosen and often fun, and the whole book really gives a sense of her love of food, cooking, cookbooks, trying new things, and wanting to pass that love on to others. Recommended if you like reading about food/cooking/editing."
