Happy birthday, Julia Child!

This iconic chef was, without a doubt, one of the greatest things to ever happen to food – and cookbooks, too! She will always be remembered for her love of cooking, her passion for life, and yes, for the wicked Dan Aykroyd impersonation on Saturday Night Live:

And of course, Meryl Street was outstanding as the Chef in the film “Julie & Julia”.

Last year, on what would have been the Chef’s 100th birthday, someone at PBS did a musical mash-up of Julia’s words…you have to see it to appreciate how brilliant it is! You can see it by clicking here:
