In Honor of Julia Child - This six-hour demonstration and workshop features techniques that Julia Child used during her time at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and in Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Julia Child became an American celebrity chef after graduating from Le Cordon Bleu Paris in 1951. Julia Child was one of the first women to introduce the French culinary techniques taught at Le Cordon Bleu to the American public, through TV emissions and many publications. Julia Child received the L??A?gion of Honneur in 2000 and the M??A?daille Pr??A?sidentielle de la Libert??A? in 2003. Due to the success of the book of the author Julie Powell, Julie & Julia became a major motion picture produced by Nora Ephron, starring Meryl Streep as Julia Child, Amy Adams as Julie Powell and Stanley Tucci as Paul Child. Demonstrations and workshops are translated into English. Courses are translated in English and take place on selected Saturdays from 8:30am-3:30pm.
