Julia Child's Primordial Soup
Julia Child certainly could make a mean boeuf bourguignon, but did you know she could also whip up the building blocks of life?
It's kind of scary watching her describe scientific diagrams using her chef's knife as a pointer. But it's helpful for all us home cooks that she converts grams into teaspoons. Bon appetit!

How refreshing and such fun to once again have Julia Child pay us a visit with yet one more of her instructive recipes. Julia taught me and any number of others to prepare all sorts of fabulous gastronomic delights. My family were fortunately for me, great chefs. Maternal Grandmother's cooking school turned out more than one successful professional chef-and though I learned much in her enormous kitchen it was Julia who inspired me to attempt her dishes. Even today I am liable to take one of her cookbooks in search of something a bit different or special. However, the above clip is something I've not seen in years. While I mayn't ever avail myself of all the special equipment for the preparation of primordial soup-it is great to once again have one of the greatest instructors delightedly teaching-this time chemmistry lesson. As any homemaker or cook well knows, great meals all require great chemistry. Bon Apetite!

Why is this so familiar?
I think I remember it from my childhood.
I believe it "sparked" my interest in science.

I am a chef and cooking teacher, for many years. What a joy to see Julia Child again. When I met her, she more than lived up to my expectations. I learned so much from her about cooking and food. She was a joy!
Exective Chef,

Julia ---- inspirational and to think how she began later in life -- still she offers so much hope and courage
