Conversation: Alex Prud'homme, Co-Author of Julia Child's 'My Life in France'

For decades "on PBS, Julia Child":http://video.pbs.org/program/1073557581/ brought her infectious enthusiasm for French cooking into the kitchens of her rapt viewers, passing on the culinary lessons she had learned during the years she lived in France. "Julie & Julia," a new film opening today, tells Child's story, along with that of "Julie Powell, whose blog":http://juliepowell.blogspot.com/ chronicled her endeavor to prepare all of the recipes in Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." The film was written and directed by "Nora Ephron":http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001188/, who adapted the two women's best-selling memoirs for the movie. Recently I spoke with "journalist and author Alex Prud'homme":http://www.alexprudhomme.com/, Child's grand-nephew, who co-wrote her memoir, "My Life in France." Prud'homme joined me by phone from his office in Manhattan: To watch full episodes of "Julia Child's show on PBS, click here":http://video.pbs.org/program/1073557581/.
