This week’s Free Book Friday Prize is a 3 book package that includes a copy of each of these books:
Julia Child: A Life by Laura Shapiro
The delicious life of one of the most beloved figures in twentiethcentury American culture. With a swooping voice, an irrepressible sense of humor, and a passion for good food, Julia Child ushered in the nation’s culinary renaissance. In Julia Child, award-winning food writer Laura Shapiro tells the story of Child’s unlikely career path, from California party girl to coolheaded chief clerk in a World War II spy station to bewildered amateur cook and finally to the Cordon Bleu in Paris, the school that inspired her calling. A food lover who was quintessentially American, right down to her little-known recipe for classic tuna fish casserole, Shapiro’s Julia Child personifies her own most famous lesson: that learning how to cook means learning how to live.

I would to win. I like cooking other things that are special. Not your everyday stuff you eat.
Tamales and Julia child, what a great idea!
PBS is the BEST. I’ve found a new love for reading and cooking because of you. love love love you all.
Three great books and I would love to add these to my library.
Julia Child cooks Tamales with Hot Sauce! Count me in.
I love free book Friday and especially PaperBackSwap.
I love this feature at PaperBackSwap
I need – NEED – to learn how to make tamales. I cannot even come close.
(I have made a decent hot sauce or two on occasion, though.)
Very cool give a way!
Julia Child! What a fascinating lady!!!
I love PBS! I am new to the Free Book Friday thing, though. I have several awesome cookbooks that I got from here and they have been awesome, especially the Middle Eastern one. I love to cook but it gets boring doing the same old meals, so it is nice to have dozens of cookbooks to hunt for something new. Tamales are something I have not yet tried to make and my Dad will love it if I start making them. We are on gluten free diets and tamales fit the bill there. He will also love the hot sauce book as he loves spicy food. I will love the Julia Child one as I think she is the absolute best TV chef ever; funny cool woman!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Julia Child is synonymous with food as Paperback Swap is to books.
😀
The combination of food and books is impossible to beat. Long live reading while you eat!
I love Julia Child.
These are the foods I grew up with—along with Julia Child. Reading about them really brought back memories.
