\u201cThis is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun! I don\u2019t think about whether people will remember me or not. I\u2019ve been an okay person. I\u2019ve learned a lot. I\u2019ve taught people a thing or two. That\u2019s what\u2019s important.\u201d Julia Child\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My love for Julia Child started when I watched the movie \u201cJulie & Julia\u201d<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>which was based on a cooking blog by Julie Powell.\u00a0Watch the movie if you get a chance. It is just very beautifully done and makes you simply want to eat and appreciate food! After watching it of course I wanted to find out more about Julia Child. She has been on TV for several years on a cooking show channel. You want to know how to make Julia Child\u2019s traditional omelette?

Here is a little insight on Julia Child (1912-2004). She was American, 6 feet 2 inches tall, an author, chef and had her TV show. Julia was married to Paul Child (1902-1994) who was a diplomat.She moved to France with her husband and fell in love with the French cuisine. I mean how could you not!? She has written \u201cMastering the Art of French Cooking I +II\u201d<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>\u2013 together with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle; that I, being married to a Frenchi obviously own. Publishing these books was groundbreaking for them. Julia\u2019s dream was to become a writer when she was young; so with her love for French food, France and her passion to write she did what she loved and always wanted to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Julia\u2019s TV-show was very popular and she proved again that if you do what you love you never work another day in your life. In her older days; and a couple of years after Paul passed away, \u00a0she lived in an assisted living complex but\u00a0kept working a bit and still wrote at age 92! Pretty impressive. She said that \u201cIn this line of work\u2026you keep right on till you\u2019re through. Retired people are boring otherwise.\u201d She died in 2004 of kidney failure.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, Julia Child would have been 100\u00a0years old. In celebration of her birthday, restaurants all over\u00a0America took part in a \u201cJulia Child Restaurant Week\u201d and offered some of her recipes on\u00a0their\u00a0menus. There\u00a0is an ongoing Julia Child exhibit at the <\/span>Smithsonian \u2013 National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0that is worth checking out. When it comes to books I can recommend <\/span>\u201cMy Life in France\u201d<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>which is an autobiography of Julia Child and very well written. My husband knows about my Julia Child obsession and purchases a poster with an original signature by Julia Child on eBay. Gotta love this man! He also bought me <\/span>this book<\/a><\/strong><\/em> which I haven\u2019t read yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for reading and Bon App\u00e9tit!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
