If you\u2019re a chef or simply a lover of fine cuisine, then you are a fan of master chef Julia Child. Known for her fun, cheerful disposition and down-to-earth style of communicating with her audience, Child put the fun back into cooking.<\/p>\n

Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California in 1912 and was the eldest of three children. She was an educated woman, employed as\u00a0a copywriter and\u00a0researcher for the government. But it was being introduced to French cuisine that led Child to her true life purpose.<\/p>\n

Paul Cushing Child, Julia’s husband and a former resident of Paris, introduced her to French cuisine. Child fell so in love with it that she decided to make cooking more than just a mundane task. She attended Le Cordon Bleu after the couple moved to Paris. There, she honed her culinary skills, partnered with master chefs and eventually co-wrote a cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”, which became a best seller. The chef was a regular columnist for The Boston Globe newspaper and would go on to publish nearly twenty books under her name and with others.<\/p>\n

After a successful 1962 appearance on a Boston television station, Child landed her first cooking show. “The French Chef” debuted on February 11, 1963, and it was a hit. Child changed the way people cooked, taking the fear out of trying new cuisines and made it a fun, entertaining process. Julia Child was the most watched cook on American television and taught women and men alike about the simple pleasure and happiness that food can bring. She took her love of cooking and made it uniquely hers. Julia Child was truly a woman who dared! Will you bring your love\u00a0to life?<\/p>\n
