I am such a HUGE fan of Julia’s. I have read her books, of course saw the movie-so good. I am a chef, and I think that Julia was my true inspiration from the very beginning of my love of cooking. I must say, that when we saw her taped lessons while in culinary school, it was a wonderful break from our studies and working over what ever hot stuff that we were working on. I love the 10 things about Julia, and I think that they are accurate, too. What a special lady, so full of life, such a fascinating woman! Sincerely, Robin

I loved watching her as a kid! She’s really got a personality unlike so many stars we see today. I miss her voice and her shows on PBS. Anyway…Bon appétit!

Wow to write something like that on a website visited by so many Julia fans takes some major balls. Yes she was unique and her voice was special but thats the reason people adored her. Couldn’t you just be nice or keep you’re opinion to yourself, or is professing your ideas your annoying trait.

She took America from Swanson frozen dinners to FOOD. I am old enough to remember the difference. Let us never forget that contribution–there would be no American cuisine, no foodies, no Food Network, no celebrity chefs, no home dream kitchens, no farmers’ markets, no local goat cheese, no real bread “with tooth” in our lives–none of it, without her. She changed EVERYTHING. God bless her.

Julia was indeed a spy. Her marriage to a diplomat allowed her to work abroad and conduct very minor subterfuge against foreign (to include friendly) governments. She acknowledged this at the end of her live. Julia was indeed a spy.

When first married, I could barely find my way to Burger King.
I bought the first cookbook I saw in a bookstore, which was
hers. Being completely ignorant of cooking, I did not know for a long time how over-reaching I had been to begin with that book!
I won’t says she made it easy, but if you just did what she said, you wound up encouraged, because the recipies do not fail you.

She will always be amazing and wonderful to me. She gave me a long standing love of good food well prepared, and the companionship and gratification which comes from serving it to family and friends.

I found her annoying. Very annoying. That voice was horrific.

Julia was awesome! I wish I had known that she was listed in the phone book, I would have loved to have called her before she passed to thank her for being such an inspiration to me. Long live Julia!
