Remembering the Master of French Cooking

By kenzi • August 15, 2012 • 3 Comments

Today, we’re celebrating Julia Child’s 100th birthday! We’ll always be thankful to the woman who brought aspics back into fashion (or tried), made important the proper trussing of a chicken, and publicly turned her nose up at diet food. Unless, of course, she was waiting for her steak to cook.

Help us celebrate with these reminders of her lasting charm:

A reflection on Julia’s recipes that home cooks make time and time again from The New York Times.

Proof that Julia stands the test of remixing (and our new cooking anthem).

A video tribute (and a prediction about Julia’s foie gras eating habits) from food writer Josh Ozersky, and another one from culinary great Thomas Keller.

And a blog created for her centenary, dedicated to all things Julia.

Our new kitchen and home shop, Provisions, is coming soon!
Sign up now and get $10 when we open.

I have a serious thing for any food topped with a fried egg, a strange kind of disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. Most of my daydreams involve cooking in a yellow-walled kitchen.
