About this product
Product Information
From the legendary editor who helped shape modern cookbook publishing-one of the food world's most admired figures-an evocative and inspiring memoir. Living in Paris after World War II, Judith Jones broke free of the bland American food she had been raised on and reveled in everyday French culinary delights. On returning to the States-hoping to bring some joie de cuisine to America-she published Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The rest is publishing and gastronomic history. A new world now opened up to Jones: discovering, with her husband, Evan, the delights of American food; working with the tireless Julia; absorbing the wisdom of James Beard; understanding food as memory through the writings of Claudia Roden and Madhur Jaffrey; demystifying the techniques of Chinese cookery with Irene Kuo; absorbing the Italian way through the warmth of Lidia Bastianich; and working with Edna Lewis, Marion Cunningham, Joan Nathan, and other groundbreaking cooks. Jones considers matters of taste (can it be acquired?). She discusses the vagaries of vegetable gardening in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the joys of foraging in the woods and meadows. And she writes about M.F.K. Fisher: as mentor, friend, and the source of luminous insight into the arts of eating, living, and aging. Embellished with fifty recipes-each with its own story and special tips-this is an absolutely charming memoir by a woman who was present at the creation of the American food revolution and played a seminal role in shaping it.

Reviews
Advance Praise for Judith Jones'sThe Tenth Muse "An entire generation of women (including me) learned to cook from Julia Childs' books. And for that we have Judith Jones to thank. Judith was the first to champion Julia's brilliant career, as well as many others who have changed the world of food. This, Judith's personal adventure, is a truly wonderful story." Ina Garten "Judith Jones's lovely memoir shows us that this petite giant, blessed with a voracious sense of adventure and timing, an erudite palate, a marksman's eye for talentand an abundance of good tastewas there at every step of our country's culinary revolution, finding, coaching, editing, and promoting the players who made it happen." Danny Meyer "Judith Jones has written a love letter to foodcharming, wise and irresistibly tasty."Peter Mayle "In this quiet, spare memoir, set against the shifting landscape of modern cookery in America, Jones reveals herself to be every bit as evangelical about good food and honest cooking as her authors . . . Jones's belief in the primordial importance of cooking well is ultimately inspiring, and it fires up these pages as it has fired her life." -Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition., Advance Praise for Judith Jones's The Tenth Muse "An entire generation of women (including me) learned to cook from Julia Childs' books.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
