Did you know...

... that today is the birthday of Julia Child, TV chef Julia, born in 1912, was a famous cook, author, and television personality, who introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to the American mainstream. Happy birthday, Julia!

Yesterday it was disclosed that she was also a WWII era spy! Way to go Julia!


 
Actually, I did know all of that. Including the spy thing. It was in a biography of her written in the 90's. She worked in China mostly during the war, working for the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. Her husband was a diplomat, thus providing a great cover. After the war (and I'm just recalling all of this from memory, so I may not have the details right) they were stationed in France. She continued to work for U.S. Intelligence (she was unlike so many in that group). However, she needed something to "do" so she started taking cooking classes. In an interview with her that I saw some years back, she said she had never really cooked before.

I didn't read her biography, but I'd heard rumors and dismissed them as rumors. I knew about the cooking classes. I think she might have mentioned that on one of her shows. I enjoyed her shows though I didn't try to cook anything that she made.

It was interesting to see who else had worked in that network. So many unsung heroes.
 
Before I read the biography (and perhaps it was an autobiography, I can't recall), I didn't think much about her. However, reading her biography, she was a pioneering woman. Involved in many things that were not typical for women of her era. She paved the road for the likes of Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray and many others who turned home cooking into serious business that women dominated. Frankly, I really admire her.

I agree with you 100%. I was a fan from the first moment I saw her on PBS. She was entertaining as well as informative.
