Today, I just wanted to send ya'al some Julia love!! Awkward, original, pioneer, hilarious, 365 and more surprises up her sleeves! Sold!
Did any of you ever watch Julia Child's TV shows? She always wiped her hands on her dress and threw flour everywhere. And her voice!! Let's not forget Madame Child's singular commanding voice! Julia never set out to be a famous chef. She herself once said, "I was 32 when I started cooking." Her late start in her career is legendary. It wasn't until she found herself a bored military wife in Paris that Julia decided to sign up for a cooking class at Le Cordon Bleu. That changed her life. She proceeded to become a true master of French cuisine, and educated and contaminated billions with her numerous books and television programs.
Any girl aspired to be Julia. Everything tracks back to her and as Anthony Bourdain said, though uniquely situated to do so, she never endorsed a thing: not a pot, not a pan, not a chain of restaurants, not a spice blend, apron or boil-in-the-bag dinner. She will be remembered for what she did on this earth, which was to inspire millions to cook -- and eat -- better." It all works because she is unpretentious and make the intimidating effortless and welcoming. Every fan of Julia ought to get a copy of "As Always, Julia", a compilation of some of the hundreds of letters she and Avis DeVoto wrote during the years up to the publication of her book.
