It’s Julia Child‘s birthday! She’s one of my favorite pop culture figures, and she’s a huge inspiration. To be honest, when I make her recipes I will scale back on the butter – in a big way. However, the end result is still a spectacularly awesome meal. In honor of her birthday, I made her recipe for yellow beans (well, to be honest, it was her recipe for green beans, but I figured it would work for yellow wax beans as well.)
Julia is such a cultural icon. Not only was she the subject of a movie, Julie and Julia, but she also revolutionized cooking television. Before Food Network, there was Julia. My favorite Julia recipe is the crepe recipe. What’s your favorite Julia recipe? How do you plan to celebrate her 100th birthday?
