Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Backstage with Julia is packed with endearing anecdotes."
—The New York Times Book Review

From 1980 onward, Nancy Verde Barr was Julia Child's friend and associate—the executive chef who helped orchestrate the television shows, cookbooks, and articles that made Julia such a beloved figure. Now, Barr looks back over their long association and brings to life the real Julia—the adventurous, inquisitive, and often mischievous woman who was completely unassuming despite her fame. Filled with vivid anecdotes and stories—from prepping a cooking demonstration on Good Morning America to vacationing with Julia in Italy—Backstage with Julia offers a delightful behind-the-scenes portrait of America's most revered chef.
