By the time I was six years old in 1967 I could impersonate Julia Child perfectly much to the dismay of my parents. I would run around our Brooklyn apartment saying, “Welcome to the French Chef, I’m Julia Child.” I absolutely adored and was fascinated by her cooking. While most children were asking for Mac & Cheese... l was asking my Mother for Boeuf Bourguignon with a French accent nevertheless. Thank you, I sincerely enjoyed your video.

Such an outstanding woman! Here I am 44 feeling like my life is over! Julia is making me feel revived for my second act! I make her beef bourgeon for my father in law! It’s a show stopper!

I was looking for a documentary on Julia Child and was about to search elsewhere when I realized this was a presentation. But I'm glad I stayed, I've enjoyed it immensely.

Me too. She was and will always be the " Grand Lady of cooking." Thank you Julia Child for your legacy. I will love you forever.

I love that I came across this because I’m watching the series about her on HBO. She was a fascinating woman. ❤️

This was a WONDERFUL lecture - it never, ever got even close to dull, so it passes the acid test for public speaking with flying colours! Bravo Sharon Hudgins. Granted, you had a fascinating subject in the magical, intolerably charismatic & loveable Julia Child. But someone of lesser talent than you could never have created such a great presentation, that - while inevitably only touching the surface of such a complex personality - still did justice to her glory. Thank you, I was thoroughly entertained while learning a great deal I didn't know, about a great lady. The fact that her immense, international success came in middle age is inspiring to many of us who are no longer in the first flush of youth!

thanks for this informative presentation. I also have an envelope of postcards/notes from Julia. We became friendly when I worked at a bookstore and we carried on a correspondence for a number of years. A terrific woman !

I grew up watching her, I always admired how she could cook without looking at what she was doing at times and her voice, oh man did it calm me💕

When I was a kid me and my friends would walk by her house... she was a star because she was on WGBH TV 2 ... We used to see her if we were lucky... she was the first famous person I ever saw in person... ...My mother was a great cook by the way... Now years later I watch these episodes to hear her voice and enjoy her personality ... it's centering believe it or not.

Inquisitive to the last. Adventurous, forever a keen study on every aspect of her craft to better learn techniques, applying them to her specialty french cuisine. Life is almost always like how julia lived it. Picking up bits and pieces, people and stories along the way to better navigate going forward.

I watched her today on KZread, then came to this, what a fab woman, and so natural, I love the way when she drops food or misses when she flips, she admits it and just carries on regardless. TY for posting

Julia was a lovely woman. The world was lucky to have her. ❤️

What I love about Julia is she created all her own opportunities. And by doing this, she led the way for women everywhere. There are no limits. Build your world. As a man I am grateful for women like her. She is my idea of feminism. A total winner.

7-29-2022 I learned how to cook from Julia Child many years back and got pretty good at it (he says immodestly). She was inspirational and such a compelling teacher her influence has lasted with me for more than half a century. She’s a much beloved personality to my family to this very day. Her clarity and directness opened domestic American cooks to being adventuresome trying new ways of cooking. As a nation we are indebted to her for moving us from our mother’s era of Betty Crocker cooking to cooking tasty, memorable and luscious foods. Over many years I taught my 3 sons to cook under Julia Child’s guidance and mindfulness. They’re appreciative and their wives are thankful to Julia too.

A fascinating talk - I was disappointed initially but drawn in, and enjoyed this; a new insight for me on Julia Child and her sheer gusto for cooking, life, everything ... and she loved cats too! Love the photo of the cat sitting in the sink while she prepares the chicken. And never mind the food police! Agree wholeheartedly. A very great lady.

Wow there's a lot of information I didn't know about Julia, in particular her early life. I tend to forget how old she was when she wrote her first book and started on television, so I never really thought about what she was doing before that? This was a wonderful presentation. Thank you!

I thought she should have mentioned My Life in France with the other books. (It got a brief mention later.) It’s an excellent memoir which documents her culinary development.

I'm a huge fan of Julia Child, but the picture shown at 9:30 is a picture of Julia & Avis DeVoto (on the left). Avis was married to historian Bernard DeVoto who lived in Cambridge. In 1953 he published an article about kitchen knives in his Harper's column. Julia read the article & loved it so much she sent him a few knives. Avis responded to the letter and a correspondence began between Julia & Avis, with Avis eventually working for Knopf publishing & was instrumental in getting the contract for Julia's cookbook. The photo was taken in 1956, Bernard had recently passed away & the Childs paid for Avis to visit them in Europe. She & Julia went to the Cordon Bleu to help Chef Bugnard (her favorite chef) prepare for his class and to work on the cookbook. Avis was thrilled to be part of it all. Please read the book, "As Always, Julia," with has all the letter sent back and forth for 8 years, while the Childs went from Paris to Marseille to Plittersdorf to DC to Oslo & finally retiring in Cambridge (Avis helped them find the home on Irving Street). You can see for yourself all the problems she faced in getting the manuscript published and her life in Europe & experience with Cordon Bleu. Excellent reading!

Brilliant presentation about a true Lady.

Such a great presentation I enjoyed it more than any documentary.

What a great talk! They moved her kitchen! I happened upon “Jamie and Julia” on KZread and really knew nothing about Julia(I have a simple palate). Now I’m reading all about her!

I cook from her books. To this day her pie crust is my go to. Of course, I whip eggs with a machine and not a hand whisk in a copper bowl, and take other ‘short cuts’ but mastering the art is a constant source for me.

The Bio on the OSS is fantastic! A must read....

What a delightful presentation! Almost everything you discussed was new information for me and , for me was a precious discovery. Find away of creating another video, you are incredible!

Fantastic!! Julia Child was an amazing woman. This is an excellent and informative program on 'Julia Child' the person.

I watch her and her British counterpart Fanny Cradock on a daily basis. This coming Saturday I plan on cooking up a Julia recipe for my mother who can be quite the picky eater, I'm nervous and excited! I love watching her and absorbing her wisdom!

The best documentary ever.

Julia was fluent in French, she spoke French when doing specials in France.

very interesting because the speaker talks about her meeting with Julia and gives good insight into what moved Julia.

Happy heavenly birthday queen of the kitchen first to do it live on television bon appetit❤

I'm so surprised that her work for the OCC during the war wasn't talked about more. She was asked to help out with a serious problem they were having with the bombs that were on the bottom of the sea. The sharks were curious and all of a sudden . . . BOOM!!!!! She actually developed a recipe to deter fish and sharks away from the explosives. It worked so well that they added it to the life jacket's of the sailors. She actually liked to call it her very first recipe. An amazing woman RIP.

Marvelous presentation! Many thanks.

He is MTF. Very easy to see.

The "lady on the left" mentioned at 9.36m is not the then owner of the Cordon Bleu school, but Avis Devoto, wife of the celebrated author and essayist Bernard Devoto, and very close friend, collaborator and confidant of JC. See the book of letters between them called, As Always, Julia. Without Avis Devoto it is doubtful if MTAFC would ever have made it into print. Surprising the lecturer did not know such a basic fact.

I noticed the pearls even as a young woman, same ones all her life

I know she became successful later on in life but I’m 28 and a home maker and not a very successful one so I just hope I can have her kind of blessings.

A lovely presentation, it wasn't her metabolism it was the proper food she ate all her life that kept thin well into old age, it's a crime how fats have been vilified by the packaged food companies, eat plenty of butter and cream and avoid sugars and grains and you'll be thin AND healthy.

Julia at a lot of grains and grain products, breads in particular. She also ate a fair bit of sugar, because she liked cakes and pastries; she just ate them in moderation. You're right about butter not being unhealthy, though, and she ate a lot of it. It's margarine that's bad for you.
