I know it sounds weird, bit as a little kid, I loved her show on PBS. I watched her as a kid and it stirred my interest in coooking which is now my job. Politics aside, she was a great dame
Awww. You, too? I was fascinated with watching her as a child. Always made me hungry! LOL!
When I lived in the UK.....they have their own version. Her name is Delia Smith and I use her cookbook from time to time. Her roasted chicken is AWESOME as she uses overlapped bacon to cover the chicken breast during baking. It’s fool proof, really.

This is the recipe from the book that I use:

I have several of her cookbooks. In one of them Julia Child said she could never sit & break bread at the same table with a Republican, that it was part of her New Deal background.
OK, fine.
