Julia Child is so hot right now.
There’s a scripted series on HBO Max that was just renewed for a second season; a documentary by Oscar-nominated directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West; a cooking contest on Food Network/Discovery+ judged by famous cooks and restaurateurs; a podcast with more than 150 episodes featuring top chefs, writers, and food thinkers; and an increasing impactful annual award given in her name at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
“Julia Child passed away nearly 18 years ago, but she still leaves an impressive ability to continue teaching Americans about the joys of culinary pursuits,” said Eric Spivey, a longtime friend of Julia and chairman of The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. “Her literary and television career remains relevant and impactful for new generations of people.”
