Good Night, Julia Child

Just shy of her 92nd birthday, Julia Child has died.

While I cannot say I learned to cook from her, she definitely laid the groundwork for my enjoyment of cooking and creating in the kitchen at a later time - a real innovator in the world of TV cooking lessons. My mother was an excellent cook but rather limited in variety of preparations. From Julia, I learned about all types of foods and seasonings that I then used to increase my own range of recipes and variations.

She was such a one of a kind, you know?
