My Idol, Julia Child.

I remember watching her as a child and finding her fascinating.
She was like no one else at the time and I found her mannerisms and way of speaking intriguing.
As an adult, I find her recipes fabulous, albeit a little on the butter-heavy side, but who am I to question the French and their use of butter? I love both. I am the proud of owner of her famous cook book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I'll be honest. Some of the recipes are daunting, but I've actually managed one or two. I find her videos helpful as well, but if you haven't ever seen them, take my advice and give yourself plenty of time because she tends to ramble on and give side bars about kitchen tips and the French cuisine in general. You will not only learn the recipe but how to sharpen a knife and melt butter properly as well. That and a whole lot more.
Anyway...I found these funny behind-the-scenes snaps of Julia on her cooking show, The French Chef  and thought I would share them with you, in the event that you are a Julia Child fan, too.
If you're not, may I ask why?
