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.

In 1993, the forever curious Julia Child wanted to learn the intricacies of the perfect risotto. So, she called on Lidia Bastianich to show her the way on her "Cooking With Master Chefs" series. The PBS collaboration forged a lifelong friendship and ultimately emboldened Lidia to bring her own unique flavors to public television.
