Yesterday was Julia Child’s 100th Birthday. She was a cultural icon, a trailblazer and an inspiration to many. This article from the L.A. Times has a handful of memories from the likes of Jacques Pepin and Julia Childs’ niece as well as some of her most iconic recipes. What better way to celebrate her memory and birthday than to roast up a chicken Julia-style and raise a glass of French champagne to a legend?
