Julia Childs dies
Maybe you had heard about Julia Child’s death today at the age of 91, but you might not realize the indirect effect she’s had on your life.
Mom used to pretend we were on TV and talk like Julia Child while we made dinner. We even had a paper cutout TV camera taped into the corner that we hammed it up to. We weren’t the only ones influenced by Child’s cooking techniques. The improved state of American cooking is credited to Child’s book and subsequent TV show. More surprising are some other events in which she personally took part.
