Guess what I found in my news feed today? This article in The Minnesota Star Tribune: A Look Inside The Julia Child Exhibit.
Julia’s influence continues even to this day. But she is but one of many, many women who found cooking and food to be their way to step forward and for others to improve their skills and produce memorable meals.
Glen Powell from Glen & Friends Cooking, focuses on cookbooks going back, in some cases, centuries not just decades. Those cookbooks are collections of recipes from local cooks who, in some cases, created their own, or in some cases, continue using recipes from older generations in their families.
Food is that thing that unites us, introduces us, connects us. As we have moved around from place to place, we have taken those recipes, flavors, along with us and introduced them to new folks who have embraced them and added them to their collections.
When you think about it, it is astounding.
For Julia Child, her greatest adventure began in a small restaurant in France where she was introduced to a simple fish dish. You wouldn’t be wrong to say that meal changed not just one person but many generations.
Happy Cooking!
