Julia Child's Culinary Notes

“Rushing from stove to typewriter like a mad hen...”

It’s almost Thanksgiving in the U.S., which means that many of us are getting ready to cook. Even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, this is a pretty spectacular culinary season: as the days turn colder, I turn towards my oven. To my mind, there’s no greater champion of cooking at home—of nourishing oneself and loved ones—than Julia Child (1912-2004).
