Who said "A party without a cake is just a meeting"?
Correct answer: Julia Child
Big W
Player #365889, No, not at all. She was an extremely gifted CHEF who published some very fine (and complicated) cookbooks in addition to her long running PBS cooking show. To refer to her as simply a "sweet old lady who succeeded" is an insult to her memory and all chefs who should and DO take her work very seriously!

RentedDynamo24704, not a sweet old lady, but a 6’ tall lady who was a spy for England during WWII. History is important!!

because people actually did physical labor, in their yards, kids rode bicycles, outdoor games and entertainment.

I remember watching her show when I was very young and having no idea what she was making. It just looked like fun!

She was also an agent of the CIA for years while traveling abroad. Beside being a marvelous chef, she was America's Jane Bond!

Lynnflynn5123, Thank you for that historical information. I did not know that about her. I see her as having been a tough intelligent woman, who didn’t run from danger, but instead was willing to risk her life for what she believed in. I respect people like that. After the war, she rewarded herself by learning to do what she had a passion for and succeeded. Amazing story.

Player #3813778, She was a RESEARCH assistant. For the OSS. NOT a
‘Field Operative’.

Julia Childs was one of the funniest "chief 's" of her time. anyone remembers her preparing meals & cutting up her fingers/hands? Many comedians imitated her on TV shows. loved her though!
Bev
Player #11503902, it was the OSS...CIA came later

It’s The Dragon
I will have to agree with her XD
Betty Myers
One of her cook books (can’t remember the name) taught me how to make cream of mushroom soup. I took it to work one day and one of my co-workers wanted me to make the soup and she would pay me. I made the soup but didn’t charge her. Like Ms. Child, I like to see people eat good food. But all the praise is for Ms. Child! God love you Ms Child!

Great cook and funny Lady!
Amma
I just loved her when I watched her shows in my younger days. now that I am much older, I found I am watching her shows now on PBS. I love and have great respect for this woman, she is real, not artificial or fake like the chefs we have on TV now. I remember the episode where she slapped a big old fish. She cooks like I do. make a mistake..oh well.drop things..no problem. Wish I could have met her.
crystal kitty
ive only ever seen her from the Goldberg's
Player #32209379
Julia Child demonstrated the true art of cooking with fun and class. I watched her back in the day and she inspired me to truly enjoy cooking. I still do today...with loads of butter! Thank you Julia.

My boyfriend's grandmother actually worked with her when she was a lot younger.She said she was a fabulous chief and it was great to have someone as notable as her in Napa Valley.His grandma was an original employee at Mondavi winery and so she knew about fine wines and through Julia child fine dining.

Julia was a very funny lady and a great cook!
