Summary: Julia Child didn't start cooking until she was 39, but no other chef influenced late-20th-century American cooking more than she did.

45 years after the debut of her groundbreaking PBS show, "The French Chef," this panel will discuss the profound effects of her books, television shows, and entertaining and accessible persona on our cuisine and culture.

Panelists include Judith Jones, Julia Child's editor at Knopf and author of The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food; Molly O'Neill, former New York Times Magazine food columnist and author of The New York Cookbook; Joan Reardon, author of M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child and Alice Waters: Celebrating the Pleasures of the Table; and Laura Shapiro, author of the Penguin Lives book, Julia Child.

Moderated by Andrew F. Smith, editor of the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink.

This program was a great insight into the life of someone with whom I made acquaintance through the medium of television. To know the struggle and trials that Mrs. Child endured to publish and maintain her books, gives me hope that cuisine will not die even in this time of hyper=inflation and shortages of staple foods.
Thank you so much for your presentation of this show.
