Who is Julia Child?
I don’t blame you. If you weren’t born during the generation where the top sitcoms are The Cosby Show, Family Ties and Growing Pains – you may not know Julia Child. The character Heathcliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby) from the Cosby Show used to imitate her a lot. Unless, you are an aspiring chef or you simply love food. I remember her from her TV show Dinner at Julia’s in the 80s. The most recent movie released starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams (Julie & Julia) have caused a flurry of inquiries on who Julia Child is. Meryl Streep portraying Julia Child in Julie & Julia. From Wikipedia: Julia Child (born Julia Carolyn McWilliams August 15, 1912 – August 13, 2004) was an American chef, author and television personality. She introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to the American mainstream through her many cookbooks and television programs, notably The French Chef which premiered in 1963. Her most well-known cookbook is the Mastering the Art of French Cooking, published in 1961. Bor
