Julia retakes the exam at the Cordon Bleu, and passes. Julia is invited into the exclusive women's eating club The Gourmettes, and takes a trip back home to the United States. Julia attempts (and fails) the Cordon Bleu final exam. The Childs learn that television is sweeping the States, head to England for Christmas, and Julia recounts her and Paul's family histories, and courtship. Paul says that "All sorts of délices are spouting out of finger ends like sparks out of a pinwheel."
Julia signs up for cooking classes at the École du Cordon Bleu, and has many disagreements with the school's owner, Madame Brassart, but her cooking improves. Julia excitedly describes the sole meunière lunch she savored in Rouen the day of their arrival, and which sparked her obsession with French cuisine, her "epiphany".
