[Google Doodle] Julia Child 美國名廚 100 歲誕辰
名廚從小就會對廚藝有興趣嗎？非也！美國名廚 Julia Child 自爆32歲才開始下廚，而且在那之前她只會吃不會做，直到遇到了她的先生 Paul Child 才開始學習烹飪，兩人的愛情就是從這麼樣的環境下開始萌生，一段愛與廚藝的人生之旅就這樣展開。
Julia Child 出生在美國加州的 Pasadena ，二戰爆發之後她離鄉背景到華盛頓戰略服務處（美國中情局 CIA 的前身）工作，之後轉往斯里蘭卡、法國等地，並且在法國認識了後來的丈夫 Paul Child。二戰結束後兩人隨即結婚，並在巴黎生活了6年，這之間她曾經到法國著名的藍帶餐飲學院（Le Cordon Bleu）學習廚藝，奠定了深厚的廚藝基礎。
49歲那年，她與兩個朋友合作出版了有「美國傅培梅」之稱的《掌握法國烹飪藝術》，這本書後來成了全球最暢銷的烹飪教科書。2年後 Julia Child 開辦電視節目《The French Chef》一連製作播放了206集，並且出版了一系列講述烹飪的書籍，兩者相輔相成下 Julia Child 成了媒體採訪的焦點，1966 年終於登上時代雜誌封面。
Julia Child 是一位為愛情而學烹飪的妻子，也是一位獲得法國最高榮譽的美國人，更是一位將法國料理美味傳播到全世界的名廚師，有超過10億位的粉絲，2009年的《美味關係》就是以 Julia Child 為中心的一部佳作電影，有人稱之為「慾望城市美食版」。
