During her long life, Julia Child did more than any other person to make cooking and the love of fine food a national pastime. PBS station WGBH in Boston has captured some of Julia’s magic in a just-released American Masters Special “Julia Child! America’s Favorite Chef” as a testament to this American icon.

Professionals and amateurs alike will enjoy the story of Julia’s two loves —cooking and her husband Paul Child — told through an intimate interview filmed in her kitchen, as well as rare images from the photo collection of Paul Child. The biography is available in DVD or VHS for $19.95.
