Julia Child was an amazing chef and author who captured the attention of many aspiring cooks through her televised cooking shows and talk show appearances. She was an unusually tall woman at 6’2″ who always spoke her mind. Her impact upon the everyday cook was just as impressive as her demeanor. Julia was a world traveler who loved adventure and considered cooking to be just that.
Even if you’re a guy, you can discover your “inner Julia Child” in your own kitchen. Julia loved gourmet French cuisine and believed that anyone could and should be able to create exquisite meals at home.
