Yes, I know she’s no longer with us…but she is in many ways. I got her first cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking shortly after college…but never used the book until much later. Now it’s in my cookbook collection-the most worn and with stained pages. But I fell in love with her on television with her unpretentious love of cooking good food. I have two signed books by her: my hubby got a parking ticket at the Cambridge Coop while waiting for a personalized signed copy of “The Way to Cook” and her last book “Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom” where as she she entered Sur La Table in Los Gatos in 2011 I had tears in my eyes…and when I told her the story about my hubby getting the parking ticket she said, “Tell him I think he’s great”. So I imagine myself with the exuberant Julia as I would work with her saying “Mon Dieu, Jeanne (my French name) and showing me the correct procedure for whatever. But we would get along fabulously for she would say “I always cook with wine…sometimes I add it to the food”. I adore Julia Child and boy, would it have been a privilege to share time in the kitchen with her.

I’ve always wanted to get a behind-the-scenes look at the kitchen of a prestigious restaurant!

I’d so work with Anthony Bourdain. I know he’d be a hardasss….but I adore him.

I’m the same, I don’t have a lot of time to read books so when I do, they have to be good! :)
