Grew up watching this cooking mogul - she "was a good thing" way before Martha and put the "BAM" in cooking way before Emeril..

here's the story - rest in peace...

wow shes dead? For a long time i thought that woman was a man! I remember this one episode she was cooking with this lady and Julia kept trying to taste the food and the lady would smack her hand and tell her its not done. And then five seconds later Julia would try to do it again and the woman would just keep smacking her hand and then Julia finally got a piece to her mouth and the drop it and said, " ohh thats hawt". Me and my sister use to make fun of the way she talked!

I thought that too; probably why she scared me as a child.

I heard the news yesterday. I actually had the honor of cooking for her in 99 for her birthday. It was an amazing experience!

She loved her meal and drank lots of wine. Wonderful person! I am glad that I had the opportunity to cook with and for her.
