Synopsis
Julia Child is a native of California and a Smith College graduate. Shortly after the appearance of the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961, Julia Child began appearing in the public television series The French Chef , which aired for many years all over the United States, and in 1978 the program Julia Child & Company was launched, followed the next year by Julia Child & More Company . In 1968 recipes from her early programs, many of which were drawn from this book, were published in The French Chef Cookbook . In 1975 From Julia Child’s Kitchen was published, followed in 1978 and 1979 by Julia Child & Company and Julia Child & More Company , based on those programs. Also based on television series were the two books— Cooking with Master Chefs and In Julia’s Kitchen with Master Chefs —she wrote in the mid-1990s, as well as Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home , with Jacques Pépin, in 1999. The Way to Cook , her magnum opus, was published in 1989, and in 2000 she gave us Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom , a distillation of her years of cooking experience.
