American Masters: Julia! America's Favorite Chef Julia Child was not a natural-born cook. When she married, she could barely boil an egg. But she fell in love with French food, and soon enrolled at the Cordon Bleu where she learned the great tradition of Classical French cuisine. Later, with two French women, she spent years writing a manuscript finally published as Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which became a culinary classic and sold over one million copies.
Warm and exuberant, Julia was a natural television star. In 1963, she appeared on public television in The French Chef, a cooking series unlike anything yet seen on TV. Soon a nation fed on Shake n' Bake and Tang would be experimenting with quiche Lorraine and boeuf bourgignon and cooking would become a national pastime.
This is the story of Julia's two great loves: her husband Paul and cooking. Through an interview with Julia herself, in her fabled kitchen, and rare images from the photo collection of Paul Child and from family photo albums, Julia Child is revealed as few have seen her before in this tribute and testament to a great American icon.
