pretty good food indeed."

I've been watching PBS too. I miss her shows, as my culinary training,
like many others, started by watching her show. Compared with most
cooking shows today, it was inspirational, while being down to earth.
She made a person feel that cooking something new and different, or
using a new technique, well, it was totally possible.

My favorite episode was where early on, she made a birthday dinner for
herself. The idea that you could make a cake out of circles of baked
merangue (sp?), and, then frost if with apricot jam was a brain-opener
for me. I checked out my first cook book from the library that night,
as we cerainly didn't have any in my home.

I loved Julia Child's programs.
