    I worked in many restaurants during college and early adulthood and nearly every chef I worked with had the highest reverance for Julia Child! She was their mentor and idol! Today it's Top Chef and Food Network idiots that come and go! But Julia remains the Gold Standard among real chefs! My own love and interest of cooking came from watching her on PBS every Saturday afternoon as a kid

    Paul was very secure in himself and the two were happily married well before her fame. They valued each other tremendously!
  • Julia was REAL! Not filtered totally upfront! ALL the cooking shows today owe her and her husband Paul for their collaboration and genius to bring cooking to T.V. She is beyond an iconic legend, her passion translated to the people! She showed that ANYONE could cook! She never tried to be glamorous only a simple woman with a zest for life and great cuisine! She is immortal!

    The Godmother of modern-day cooking and cooking shows. A true Pioneer. Simply the best.

    The best memories of my mother were of us watching Julia and Jacques. Thank you, Julia, for keeping me close to my mother.

    Julia Childs gifted her intact kitchen to The Smithsonian, I didn’t know it was there when I happened upon it, I was speechless to see it displayed there. During her kitchen’s disassembly, workmen even removed the plaster walls down to the studs for installation in the museum. All of her appliances, gadgets, and pots and pans are there, just as they were.

    She is still my lovely favorite woman in the world .she will never fade away..she made the ones ahead of her famous but small in exciting.. I love her .
  • Julia Child was a diver in the OAS and helped develop shark repellent. Truly a marvelous lady.

    Why does no one ever mention one of the greatest skills in the world that Julia had? CHARM!
  • @HannahMattox
    I know he didn't just say she wasn't beautiful! That whole statement could have been left out 😂🤦‍♀️ she was such a lovely woman. People like me see a person's true beauty that comes from within, and that lady was full of it ❤️ one could only hope to be a legend to her level one day ❤️

    Don't even put that hack Rachael Ray in the same sentence as Julia Child. Julia remains the absolute queen of TV cooking. I have a vintage copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and it is one of the items I'd grab if there were a fire in my home.

    Working at Boston’s Meridien Hotel / rebranded The Langham for over 30 years I had the honor of waiting on her and her husband for over 30 years. I adored her since black and white TV in grade school. I feel very very fortunate. Thanks for this highlight video.
  • GREAT video! There will NEVER be another cooking-with-personality icon like Julia Child! 👩‍🍳🇫🇷❤️😜

    I used to watch her on PBS as a child and loved her show
  • @sylviekins
    I loved her, she was just amazing! My sister watched from our home in NZ. In one episode she showed a gadget, explained how it worked, and then dropped it on the floor, saying “I do so hate those things”😂. I would love to see that segment again. What a inspiring and wonderful lady!

    Julia and Graham Kerr and Jacque were my heroes growing up. By 6 I was in the kitchen making Crepe Suzettets at 8 and won tons by 10. 61 yrs later I am still in the cooking biz and have shared my knowledge with many and traveled the US cooking for many. Grew up in South Pasadena area so yeah !!!🤙👍✌💪🍾
  • My daughter won the Julia Childs Cordon Bleu scholarship in Bloomsbury London . She’s a legend .
