Yesterday, August 15, 2011 would have been Julia Child's 99th birthday. Today, August 16, 2011, marks my 36th. Call me crazy but ever since I was a little kid I felt this connection to food and entertainment just like that of Julia's life. I have always loved to cook and watching Julia was oh so inspiring to me. As an adult chef I continue to look back at that little kid awe struck at how this larger than life female chef would bring recipes to life on TV. I will remain that same little inquisitive girl, always curious, sometime silly and eager to taste and savor delicious new flavors and discover unique techniques in and out of the kitchen. As I prepare to start teaching in a few weeks (fundamentals of classical cuisine) I will look back to my fond memories of learning from Julia. And like her, I hope to make a difference in the lives of many young culinarians. Bon Appetit! Thank you Julia for the continued inspiration.
