Happy Birthday, Julia!

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | August 15, 2012 8 Comments

A BIG HAT-TIP TO READER ERIN, who alerted me to the video you see pictured up top. The video is the brilliant work of John D. Boswell of PBS Digital Studios. Here, Boswell respectfully turns Julia Child’s words of culinary wisdom into the lyrics of a song, and a very hip song, at that. What a great way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of America’s favorite chef! I hope you’ll click the “play” button, and then join me in wishing Mrs. Child a happy birthday.

Oh. Be sure to turn your speakers up. All the way.
Bon Apetit!

    Thanks for sharing this fun piece! I saw just a couple of seconds of this on Good Morning America, this morning, but seeing it in it’s entirety was great. She was truly the right woman, in the right place, at the right time, and paved the way for other culinary greats to come along.

    Marie, Linda, Ellen and Brenda – Awesome, yes. Makes me miss Julia all the more. Fortunately she is still with us — through video and books. Loved the line ” you have to have a little fat in your diet” — so true!
