Don’t you just love her? She gave us so much more than just “how to cook”. More, Julia Child wanted us to discover life in its fullness! I’m so glad that her popularity is being given a boost by Julie & Julia – if you haven’t seen the movie, do so!
She was smart, charming, and one honors her with every recipe one makes from her own book.
The singing….she is just a wonderment. God bless her….and the movie IS great.
I simply love her and her gracious ways of communicating. A singing cookbook and cookbooks of early years “gives us a more gentle view not of war and politics but of family and community”. Horray Julia and Happy Birthday to you!!
Hahaha, can you believe that someone gave me a neg for my comment? why wouldn’t they rebutt my statement instead?
I think the main problem with food these days is the fact that 80% of items bought from a supermarket contain corn fructose.
The beef we eat doesn’t even get to eat grass as it was intended, they are fed a slurry of man made “food” and injected with growth hormone in order to reach market fatser. The same deal with chicken. Fish have high mercury content.
We are eating garbage now
“The view we get of history we get through the kitchen window is a more gentle view , not of war and politics, but of family, community and sharing….” 1:15
I simply adore Julia! Thank you so very much for sharing this. I had never seen it before, and I’ve been a huge fan for almost 40 years. Excellent!! Is there more?
I read somewhere that when she was finally pulled from tv it was due to people complaining that she looked crazy, drunk or demented on her shows. It is so sad that people of that time “outgrew her” and would not appreciate her humor or beautiful spirit and hurt her in that way.
Odd, I’ve never heard that… Do you have some references? Julia Child had a series of television shows, with very few breaks in between, from the years 1963 to 2000. IOW, from ages 51 to 88. Would you care to please name another television star or personality with that length of a run? (Johnny Carson was only on the Tonight Show for a measly 30 years!)
A quote from the Michael Pollan, 7-29-09 N.Y. Times article, “The BBC supposedly took The French Chef off the air because viewers wrote in complaining that Julia Child seemed either drunk or demented.” Note the word ‘supposedly’! Obviously Pollan is ‘reporting’ a rumor! Is this responsible journalism? No, and it is both unethical in itself as reportage and unfair to Julia Childs reputation and educator and early television pioneer.
I didn’t draw any conclusion of the article. It was only as reference. However it was intresting reading cuz she obviously did a great deal to change many people life and cooking habits. I really can’t tell because i live outside US.
Julia was never “pulled” from anything, and the BBC series died for almost pathetically funny reasons, not involving alcohol at all. The only accurate answer to questions about Julia can be found in the annotated biography, ” Appetite for Life”, by Fitch.
Serves six to eight little green men. This is an ancient Saint Lucian recipe often known by its preposterous name Chair humaine à labsinthe. Sometimes elephantine fossilized croûtons excreted with sucked curds are bred on the pogo stick of the gestated human flesh and the cutie is then banged under the electric blanket until the cream is squirting. Whether you do this or not, this wangle penetrates a pretty luscious fellow and is one of my stiff as a poker hobnobbers.
She was unique. One of a kind. A real pioneer.
She did so much, all so pleasantly. So glad Meryl
Streep did that movie. It made me look closer at
Julia Child.

Wonderful! Brava Mrs Child!

You forgot adorable!
I always smile when I see a pic of her smile…she’s so cute.
I simply love her and her gracious ways of communicating. A singing cookbook and cookbooks of early years “gives us a more gentle view not of war and politics but of family and community”. Horray Julia and Happy Birthday to you!!
I still have my Mother’s first cook book from the 1930′s and I love it.
Cream, butter, eggs…all in ample quantity. How did she live to 91? People would have us believe it impossible to live to an old age on such a diet.
Jefferson’s cook that he had trained was a slave.
“Festin Joyeux” is what you order at Mickey D’s in Paris when you want a Happy Meal! I knew I’d heard that phrase somewhere before…
excellent point, and yet with all this new “guidance” we only seem to have more problems eating “safer” things.
she is still the best

right on.
i’m against all the processing. i’ll take a tablespoon of real butter over a tablespoon of whatever the “fat free fat” of the day is.

really. that’s just so sad. and in some sense cruel.
