I was twelve, living in Boston when her show started. I was just learning to cook. She was an instant celebrity.
Years later, I worked in Cambridge near her favorite kitchen store. She was tall and easy to pick out of a crowd.

Guys, don’t forget she was also an actual spy during WWII. She was a badass long before she was famous!

I absolutely love her, and her calming voice. Not like some chefs that think yelling is a god way to approach cooking.

Before Julia, we ate crap. Julia taught us to savor food, treat it with respect. She is the OG Chef.
