Helpful Score: 2

An interesting memoir of a NYC secretary who decides to tackle the voluminous "Mastering the Art of French Cooking, volume 1" by Julia Child: cooking all of the recipes within it's covers over the course of an entire year. It took me a while to get really "into" this book, but it turned out to be worth the read. The author has a thing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, writing blog entries, and David Strathairn. She is also vehemently anti-republican which is easy enough to detect, and may be offensive to some. Parts of this book, such as Lobster vivisection, are laugh out loud funny!
