Julia was instrumental to the birth of American public television and expanding our interests in “foreign” cuisine. Somara is the bigger expert on the famous lady. She’s read at least two books about Julia but the greater connection is them both being attendees of the Cordon Bleu culinary school.
Many people know Julia for cooking. During WWII, she was a member of the OSS, the pre-cursor of the CIA. Being a member is where she met her husband. I think the more unusual matter to learn about Julia was her randy humor. Somehow people incorrectly think the past’s residents were all prudes. No, only the jerks and hypocrites want you to remember things that way.
