Out of morbid curiosity. What was the name of that cookbook handed to
Julia near the end - which includes Marshmallow Fluff recipes?
(Assuming it's a real book and not a composite.)

I believe it was "Larousse Gastronomique," which is an encyclopedia of
gastronomy, the majority of which is French. At least that's what it
sounded/looked like.

No, it was an American cookbook and Simone Beck asked 'what is
marshmallow fluff?' I don't think it was Joy of Cooking, but some other
cookbook.

Marshmallow Fluffs are USAn nonsense. Larousse is on a higher niveau.

It's not in our 1961 edition of Larousse Gastronomique" nor is it in the
1975 edition of "Joy of Cooking" It must be the hallucination of the
screenwriter.

Marshmallow is in the Larousse, only defined as sweetened egg white. It's
recognized, but there are no recipes.

I think so. I am almost finished reading 'My Life in France', past the
publication of Volume II, and I found no such reference to any such
event. I certainly doubt it came from "Julie & Julia".
