MANILA, Philippines – Did you know that Thursday last week (August 15) was International Gourmet Day?
It also marked the birthday of renowned American chef, author, and TV host Julia Child. She was recently portrayed by Meryl Streep in Nora Ephron’s 2009 film Julie & Julia.
The film tells the story of Julie Powell (played by Amy Adams), a young New Yorker who challenged herself to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days. She eventually did, and subsequently published a book: Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen.
Child’s cookbook, the one Powell made use of, is entitled Mastering the Art of French Cooking. This two-volume collection of French recipes, co-written by French chefs Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, paved the way for French cuisine to spark the American public’s gastronomic interests.
This is just one example of how local fares have spread throughout the world, creating a vibrant intermingling of international cuisines.
