Karen, I never saw Julia Child as my mother NEVER watched television. I feel I’ve missed something. Ah well, I have not seen the movie but now that I’ve read this book (my self-imposed prereq.) I look forward to it a lot! Plus, I have to wait until it comes to Netflix as we never go to the movies….

Stefanie, that sounds much like my own story, as I too hated the thought of cooking! My husband learned to cook because he gets so tired of eating out (he travels all the time). And he’s great, just like you say about your husband!

Suzanne, I went to France on a backpacker’s budget! At least I’ve gone but oh, when I go again, I’m going to do it right!

Heather J., it is simply wonderful!

Jackie, I too didn’t know much about her– and was very intimidated by the idea of French cooking! But I think Kitchen Wisdom is/was the perfect starting point!

Valerie, I too liked the idea of homemade cards — and for a split second I thought we’d do it too. But then I remembered that I hate that kind of thing and I’m not creative!
