Julia Child, la Grandes Gourmande
Hosts Josh and Chuck explore the life, career, and cultural impact of Julia Child, tracing her path from privileged Pasadena upbringing and World War II OSS service to becoming America's most influential cookbook author and television chef. They discuss her late start in cooking, her revelatory first French meal, her training at Le Cordon Bleu, the creation of 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking', and the launch of 'The French Chef' on PBS. The episode also covers why she was so beloved-her humor, mistakes on camera, feminist outlook on the kitchen, love of butter and wine, hallmark recipes, and her distinctive final resting place in an underwater cemetery.
