Julia was my client for 30 years and I absolutely adored her. Except nobody called her Julia; unless you are an intimate she was Mrs Child, . She was enormously charming, somewhat quirky, and until Paul became very ill in old age, you could see that they were an adoring couple. I still miss her after all these years.

SMH. The comments are just too much. This is not an exact science, its food. As many grandparents and parents said use what you have on hand. Salute Julia as the real first American cook to educate people on cooking outside the box. Today's "celebrity" chefs (if you dare to call them that) make food a project and use ingredients not many have. Julia any day over any TV cooks today.

It’s also fair to note that, even as Julia Child’s cookbooks contain precise renderings of time-honored dishes, her TV show revealed a confident, casual cook who might forget the garlic or add too much cottage cheese, but who soldiered on without apologizing. Now that’s a model worth following.

As seen in the movie, Julie and Julia.

Lasagna is the LAST thing I would consider for last moment guests! She’s so amazing. Takes me two days to make a lasagna. Steps. Certainly, most of us have a pasta sauce waiting to be made in our fridge. Spaghetti is the must have for me.. and of course good parm. She’s so much fun. Watching Julia is pure pleasure.

Julia got LOTS of hate mail over this, believe it or not. It turns out many were disgusted by her handling of lasagna as a vehicle for leftovers, or were just offended at a French chef doing lasagna at all. They kept a form letter on file to send back, with a statement that this was not intended to be traditional authentic Italian lasagna, that cooking is about trying new ideas and combinations, and including the recipe. They never got a reply to that!

What is interesting is that, as I understand it from speaking to a coworker who is of Italian heritage and lived in Italy for a number of years, there are many variations of lasagna served throughout Italy. In southern Italy, the lasagna is more like Americans think of lasagna. In northern Italy, white sauce and other ingredients are in it. Kind of like how chili is cooked differently in the United States in different parts of the country.

Watching it, I felt the same way. She just slopped everything she could get her hands on (cottage cheese? Ugh).
