Bob Spitz

According to Bob Spitz, author of Dearie:  The Remarkable Life of Julia Child (Knopf, $29.95), the 1961 publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking came just as Americans were ready for a gastronomic revolution.  That’s just what they got, courtesy of a tall, outspoken woman who demonstrated the intricacies of French recipes with what appeared to be blithe disregard when things went wrong.  “An affectionate, entertaining tribute to the witty, bumptious, and passionate host of The French Chef.”—Publishers Weekly starred review.  Spitz is the author of the celebrity biographies The Beatles: The Biography and Dylan: A Biography.
