Famous Chefs - Julia Child, my hero!

avatar

Cookbook by

Julesong

Julia Child... I cannot say enough wonderful things about this woman. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting with my mother, watching Julia on the scratchy black and white television screen, as she cooked and chatted and joked. I thought for many years, until my mom told me otherwise, that I was named after her - I still like to think of my name as a tribute to this remarkable woman. Please let me know if you find any of Julia's recipes which aren't currently in my cookbook.
