No list of food memoirs would be complete without My Life in France, Julia Child's classic story of moving to France with her husband (who was assigned there by the US State Department), and then slowly falling in love with French culture, food, and cooking. (No, she didn't always want to be a chef!) Julia starts with cooking lessons at Le Cordon Bleu, then teaches her own cooking class, and finally writes a giant masterpiece on French cuisine. Her exuberant prose and clear love of food will have you running to the kitchen yourself.
