While the story contains no true knowledge of (the real) Juia Child and should be taken with a grain of salt and perhaps even a generous pat of butter, we hope that you will find something here to savor. If you discover, as we have, that some stories taste best when shared with others, then all the better." It all began with sole meuniere. In a single bite, Julia's life is transformed forever, inspiring a love affair with French food that was to last a lifetime. Along with the help of her childhood friend, Simca, the two girls embark on a culinary quest filled with friendship, imagination, and a little bit of magic. There are ingredients and recipes galore. Some successful. Others...not. But no matter the dish, the recipe or the results, Julia and Simca know one thing for certain: You can never use too much butter. Oh, and there is nothing better than being a child forever. Determined to avoid the stressful, colourless fate that seems to await every grown-up around them, Julia and Simca devise the perfect recipe to remain young. With a dash of wonder, a spoonful of fun, and an undeniable dusting of joie de vivre Julia and Simca create the perfect recipe with unexpected, and decidedly marvellous, results. "Life was filled with far too many grown-ups who did not know how to have a marvellous time. The girls had no wish to become big, busy people - wary and worried, hectic and hurried." When I first heard of Julia, Child by Canadian author Kyo Maclear, it was love at first sight. Or should I say amour? As a self-professed 'Foodie' with a penchant for all things gastronomy-related, Maclear's latest publication loosely inspired by the life of the wonderful and enigmatic Julia Child was a must-buy. Of course, I would be lying if I said that Julie Morstad's eye-catching cover didn't also play a large role
