Today marks the day Julia Child would have turned 100 years old. I have to say that the movie Julie and Julia, was the reason I first started blogging. I was in culinary school when the movie came out and it got me so excited about blogging.
Here is Julia’s biography, if you would like to know a little more about her. I remember before she passed away, she was interviewed in her garden. At that time I owned a flower shop and I was blown away at her love for her garden.
I am a member of Les Dames d Escoffier in Palm Springs. It is a culinary group that helps with fundraising and brings awareness to the art of food. We are celebrating Julia’s Birthday with a board on pinterest. This is an open board to add photos of Julia. As I have been working on this post, I have come across a few posts that I like.
One being, 12 facts of Julia Child. I especially like fact 6. Julia was so real. She said what was on her mind and she was quite amusing. I recently rented some of her tv shows from the library. I enjoy watching how things were made from scratch. There were no microwaves to speed things up.
Here is a video of some beautiful things Julia has made. Baking with Julia Child.
Julia will remain an inspiration to many including myself. Her famous recipe of Beef Bourguignon will forever be a sought after specialty, taken from the recipe book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Happy Birthday Julia.
If you have ever made anything from Julia’s cookbook, I would love to here how it turned out.
Candi Elm is a wife and mom who bakes and secretly dreams of one day being a famous pastry chef, along with striving to be a techie and iced tea connoisseur. She currently lives in Southern California while blogging, baking and raising her children.
I am a baker, I think about it all the time, coming up with new desserts, that is, while spending time with my 3 children. Two of them help me in the kitchen. The oldest doesn't think it's the cool thing to do. I also teach cooking classes including gluten free baking. I like to read and work out in the garden. I finished culinary school a few years ago and volunteer at our church and school. I am busy, busy, busy, but love every minute of it. 
That is so awesome hearing that the movie "Julie and Julia" inspired you to blog. That was a great movie. Her story is pretty incredible. I did get to visit her test kitchen at the Smithsonian in Washington DC a few years back.
I love Julia Childs and I liked "Julia & Julia" too
I've made several of her recipes (probably more than several) – I'll have to look through my recipe file and remind myself which ones!
