Remembering a Celebrity Chef





Julia Child: 1912-2004

 

“I don’t think about whether people will remember me or not. I’ve been an okay person. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve taught people a thing or two. That’s what’s important.” – Julia Child *

Chef Julia Child, perhaps the first of the celebrity television chefs in the U.S., would have been 104 today. Happy Birthday!

Whether you watch an episode of the French Chef, try a recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, or read one of her biographies, please celebrate Chef Julia’s birthday with good food.

Here are some resources to help you.
