Happy belated Birthday to Julia Childs 8/15...
Sorry for taking a break, I have been taking care of my Mr. Blu feline who just had a major surgery so I've not been online for a little bit.
I woke up early this morning went to my favorite old fashion style bakery & restaurant “Le Pain Quotidien." for a nice coffee, then went to my local farmers market, bought some beautiful Heirloom tomotoes, fresh figs, great rosemary bread.
I'm doing my own research for my area in Sherman Oaks, Studio City & california for some speciality stores, cheese, bakery, seafood, butcher & produce.
Make friends with your local markets so they can refer what is the best to buy & for the season.
Depending on where you live buying seasonly is more cost effective, it's when they have to ship in those out of state/country items that price are much higher.
I am waiting for my Julia Childs book to come in. I tried my local bookstores but they are all back ordered. I just checked the Borders & all Julia Childs MtAoFC, are back ordered. This is spreading like WILD FIRE. So excited to see the Passion for this.
While I'm waiting for it, I'm making a list of women, or people who I can get together with.
Well I just went on Bon Appetit website to find a recipe and to my surprise a few days after I started my blog they posted their own cooking club for Julia Childs too. I knew it was Julia's birthday and I can't expect to have this idea on my own inspired by Julie Powell.
Well I'm still going to push for my blog to make it, I'm not BA, and have website YET, BUT I will keep my passion alive. .
Julia Powell you must be so proud that you started this. YES YOU did this REBIRTH.
So until my book arrives I will use the recipes on BA for now.
Please post what you are doing to create your club.
I want to put together some resources for everyone, please email me with what you find in the way of, does your area have a good cheese shop, your butcher, local produce market/growers.
Also what your planning on cooking for your first gathering, pictures would be lovely too.
My mom is now reading my blog and is excited that I am doing any writing at all.
She knows my passion for cooking & I have to tell you she is a GREAT cook.
My background in cooking is from all grandparents, mom, & just obsessing on all food shows.
At the age of 49 I still call my mother (Jeanette she lives in Sante Fe, New Mexico)
on "how do I do this, that".
I still have my own way of cooking with color, love, you can say Water for Chocolate, Amelie, & Chocolate (gosh so many good food movies), one of my other favorite inpirations for keeping my heart in the right place when I cook.
Love love love love goes into everything I create, I love when someone takes a bite of something & there is a pause, eyes closed, the head nodes and a big MMMM comes out, followed by "THIS IS GREAT".
I will be posting more now that my cat is on the healing end of his surgery. Once his poor cone on his head is removed & stops tripping over himself I'll feel better & more active on this blog.
Again, please email/post anything that your doing. I want to hear from YOU ALL.
Thank you for the emails I've recieved so far.

Julie Julia Cooking Club ???
I have been so inspired by Julie Powel in what she did.
So I was thinking if she her inspiration came from Julia, we are being inspired by Julie.
I would love to start a national Julie / Julia cooking club nationaly.
Cooking brings people together, so why not create a once a month day where woman, families, couples gather together to create, ignite our cooking passions or just learn how to cook.
If 2 beautiful woman can do this we can do this.
It's also a great way as well to support our local farmers markets, butchers.
The way the world is today we NEED to start empowering our communities & our relationships with others.
Bring the dollar back to our mom & pop stores.
A website to share our stories, maybe some wine pairing, desserts etc.
Maybe if Julie isn't on a whirlwind from her success she can join us however she see's fit because it's her passion that joined us all together, Oh, of course Julia Childs herself she changed the world for the american woman to create French food for themselves.
There are so many writers, chefs, foodies on the site I hope you join us as well.
I don't know all thoughts welcome.
PLEASE JUMP ON BOARD!! (the cutting board that is)
Bon Appetit,
Marcelle
