She is an epic #wonderwoman
She was an inspiration to me and after 35 years as a chef, she remains so.
yes! Amazing!
She was one tough & smart cookie. We were just talking about how rude Martha Stewart was to her on Stewart's show. To embarrss
2/ embarrass her on purpose showed how jealous Stewart was of Child
did not know that. learn something new every day.
I used to say I'd start cooking like her at the same age she did... welp.. need a new excuse.
She apparently was too tall for the Women's Army Corps!
According to my stepmother who was with the OSS, my dad hired Julia.
