Julia Child was born hungry, but she was not born a cook. It took time for her to become the famous creator of delectable concoctions.
During World War II, Julia Child developed her first recipeâfor shark repellent!âand was later inspired to learn how to cook by a life-changing luncheon in France.
While living in Paris, Julia devoured recipe books, shopped in outdoor markets, consumed all kinds of foods, and whipped through classes at one of the worldâs most renowned culinary schools.
Though she wasnât always successful in the kitchen, Julia Child was determined to âmaster the artâ of French cooking. She became Americaâs first celebrity TV chef and one of its most entertaining teachers.
Julia Child believed that cooking should be fun and every meal a special event. Her favorite phrase wasâBon appĂŠtitâ"Enjoy your meal!"
