The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts

Julia Child made cooking fun. She inspired millions to take to the kitchen and appreciate the pleasures of making and eating good food. In 1995, Julia had the foresight to establish The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts to further her far-reaching impact as a teacher and mentor after her death. Since 2004, the Foundation, through grants made to other non-profit organizations and by presenting the Julia Child Award, continues Julia’s legacy, educating and encouraging others to live well through the joys of cooking, eating and drinking well.

The first Julia Child dish 16-year-old Amy Traverso ever made? French crêpes! Now with a little more experience under her kitchen apron, she's flippin' 'em up for viewers like you on our latest installment of "You & Julia: At Home". Oh, and she's adding an Eventide Oyster Co.-style brown butter lobster roll twist for good measure!
