CHAPTER 6
'The waiter carefully placed the platter in front of us,
stepped back, and said: 'Bon appétit!'
I closed my eyes and inhaled the rising perfume. Then
lifted a forkful of fi sh to my mouth, took a bite, and chewed
slowly. The fl esh of the sole was delicate, with a light but
distinctive taste of the ocean that blended marvelously with
the browned butter. I chewed slowly and swallowed. It was
a morsel of perfection.'
—Julia Child describing her fi rst meal in France, in 1948, in
her recent book,
My Life in France
