The Story of Julia Child
Julia Childs was born Julia Carolyn McWilliams on Thursday the 15th of August 1912 in Pasadena, California to parents John McWilliams Jr and Julia Carolyn (Caro) Weston. Her father was a land manager and graduate from Princeton University and her mother was a paper company heiress. Julia was the oldest of three children, she had a brother John McWilliams III, and a younger sister Dorothy Cousins.
In 1912, Pasadena, California was a charming and burgeoning city known for its picturesque landscapes, cultural attractions, and emerging community. Pasadena's natural beauty was one of its main attractions.
The city was nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and was known for its stunning views, mild climate, and lush gardens. The Rose Bowl, which would become an iconic venue, was constructed ten years later in 1922. Pasadena was characterized by a mix of architectural styles.

French Chef Profile - Bruno Feldeisen
I wanted to change it up a little bit on Fabulously Delicious. Each week I’ve been bringing you delicious episodes revolving around a specific topic. We’ve had Cantal cheese, Confit de canard, and Burgundy wines to name a few, and then we’ve gotten to know the guests who are experts on the topic. But in season one I had the pleasure of chatting with renowned chefs like Phillip Tesser and Gabriel Gate. So I wanted to dive a bit into chef life and bring you a different Fabulously Delicious episode. Going forward every now and then I will have episodes devoted to a French chef who’s either here in France or around the world. We will discover their love of French food, their career journey, their life before becoming a chef, and what lead them to French cuisine.
