A Salute to Julia Child

Today marks the 100th birthday of Julia Child.  I wanted to share about one of my favorite cooking shows of all time, "Baking with Julia", which aired on PBS in the 1990s.

Julia Child hosted the show; she was in the kitchen learning from master bakers whom she inspired.  You could tell how much the guests were excited and honored to be in the kitchen with her.

There is a book with the recipes from the show that I highly recommend: Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan (William Morrow and Company, Inc.: New York.  1996).  I craved this book for years before I got it; it was worth the wait.

For those of you who have had my danishes, this is where I found the recipe for the dough (I came up with the fillings).

Oh, enjoy this tribute that PBS put together.
