Julia Child 15/8/12 – 13/8/04, was the American equivalent of The Roux family. She brought French cuisine to the US in the 1960s.
Rather than write a biography of her, I will offer this link to the wiki page on her. Julia Child would have been 100 years old yesterday. She passed away 2 days prior to her 92nd birthday, in 2004.

Child was more than a chef and writer of cook books. She was a television personality and made French cuisine accessible to all, from cooks and chefs to housewives and bachelors. She became an icon of modern cooking and accessibility.
Julia and Julia was made in 20 as an homage to Julia CHild. It starred Meryl Streep as Child, with Amy Adams as the woman following in her footsteps, cooking a different recipe a day for her blog. It is an excellent insight into a truly amazing icon.
RIP Julia.
As you may be aware, I have written a book, available on kindle and now paperback.
