Julia Child (1913-2004)

May she rest in peace.

Julia Child, whose warbling, encouraging voice and able hands brought the intricacies of French cuisine to American home cooks through her television series and books, died in her sleep three days before what would have been her 92nd birthday.

Julia Child shared the passions, philosophies, and products of this kitchen in her home, with family, friends, colleagues, and fans for 45 years. Now she is sharing the kitchen itself with millions, having donated it to the National Museum of American History in 2001.

Bon Appetit, Julia.

She - ( or her SNL doppelganger ) - brought us such favorites as:
"Good heavens! I've cut the dickens out of my finger!" and "A little sherry for me, a little sherry for the chicken....... a little more sherry for me." and of course "Not to worry, we have another lovely turkey over here."

I was surprised at how many people didn't know who she was. It's a sad day for cuisine.
