As a girl, I had zero interest in the stove. I've always had a healthy appetite, especially for the wonderful meat and the fresh produce of California, but I was never encouraged to cook and just didn't see the point in it. Julia Child appetitecaliforniacook share on social
I had my first French meal and I never got over it. It was just marvelous. We had oysters and a lovely dry white wine.

Those were lovely days for gastronomy, I must say. Julia Child 1960sbuttercigarette share on social
