She used it all to her advantage, despite her awkward stature.

Julia & Jacques is still the best cooking show ever.

Love the rapport, they both get it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

In 1941, at the onset of World War II, Julia moved to Washington, D.C., where she volunteered as a research assistant for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a newly formed government intelligence agency. In her position, Julia played a key role in the communication of top-secret documents between U.S. government officials and their intelligence officers. She and her colleagues were sent on assignments around the world, holding posts in Washington, D.C., Kumming, China; and Colombo, Sri Lanka. In 1945, while in Sri Lanka, Child began a relationship with fellow OSS employee Paul Child. In September of 1946, following the end of World War II, Julia and Paul returned to America and were married.

In 1948, when Paul was reassigned to the U.S. Information Service at the American Embassy in Paris, the Childs moved to France. While there, Julia developed a penchant for French cuisine and attended the world-famous Cordon Bleu cooking school. Following her six-month training—which included private lessons with master chef Max Bugnard—Julia banded with fellow Cordon Bleu students Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle to form the cooking school L’Ecole de Trois Gourmandes (The School of the Three Gourmands).

Welcome to the Canteen, Pelham...thanks for stopping in.

Hope you enjoyed reading about this week’s hero...Julia Child.

[mylife]

Beautiful story.

[Pelham]

Thanks. A great read for those of us who saw Julia Child on tv. I knew that she had once worked for the OSS but I didn’t know anything about her background. An interesting comparison with Paris Hilton.

That pic is too funny. What the heck were they doing down there?

It looks like our kitchen when I’m cooking, only there are cats at my feet instead of people. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Her voice IS a little annoying. d:o)
