(Aug. 15, 1912 - )



Arguably the world's most famous chef, she professed that she could barely boil an egg until she was 35.

Julia was born in Pasadena, California, and graduated from Smith College in 1934. During World War II she served with the Office of Strategic Services in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) where she met Paul Child whom she would later marry. When she was transferred to China she
became interested in regional cuisine. Shortly after the end of World War II she enrolled at the famous Cordon Bleu culinary school in Paris while her husband was assigned to the American Embassy.

Over a number of years, she quantified and translated the French style of cooking for the American kitchen. Her extensive research resulted in the 2-volume Mastering the Art of French Cooking which was published in 1961. She became a national personality promoting her book through various media appearances, culminating with her own cooking series on PBS and continuing appearances on ABC's Good Morning America.
