'Have you run into a recently-published book from Little Brown, ANYBODY CAN COOK, by Gwen French. Very interesting, and she has worked like a dog, and knows her stuff; but I do not think that she has presented it in a readable and workable enough fashion. It is slightly too text-booky; sends you back to too many “ main recipes”....and, I think, will not fill most people's needs for a companion cook-book.' AS ALWAYS, JULIA. ed. By Joan Reardon, 2010, The letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto, page page 237.

Well, I DID meet Julia. It was in 2000, at Smith College where my daughter was a Freshwoman. Julia was there with a bunch of other famous alumnae for THIS IS ABOUT SMITH. That famous voice that famous hair streak-- they were there. And they were all surrounded by an adoring crowd, including me. Julia was most gracious to everyone. She was tall even seated in the provided chair and when it was my turn to have my picture taken with her I noticed how incredibly big her feet were. But she was very gracious and smiling and jubilant and wonderful to everyone who needed to have their picture taken with her.
