I do vividly remember you preparing that Chinese dinner for Mom’s 40th and that it was really good! Love this photo of you with her – a lot has happened since 2000 so this is a real treasure. xox Janine

Though I must admit, while my mom tried her best, she wasn’t a born cook. And neither was her mother. They cooked because the family had to eat. So I’m guessing that some of my skill had to do with me.

Anyway, you’re spot on with your observations on Julia. In a time when instant this and boxed that and frozen whatnot were the thing, she dared to remind people that good cooking didn’t have to be unapproachable or beyond the realm of a regular person. I wish more people remembered that today…!
