\nFrom her towering stature to her unforgettable voice and comforting French cooking,\u00a0Julia Child<\/a>\u00a0was the epitome of warmth, humor and power. She was a pioneer in food television, bringing French cuisine to America and making it\u00a0accessible for the home cook<\/a>. She loved butter. And everybody loved her.
\nAlthough\u00a0Child<\/a>\u00a0passed away in 2004, her legacy has endured, and today feels stronger than ever. Ask anyone who’s met her, cooked with her or simply watched her from afar, and witness them pull out story after story of the impact she’s had on their lives, both past and present.
\nIn honor of what would have been her 105th birthday on August 15, we do just that. We ask those chefs lucky enough to have known her to share their favorite memories, and they answer willingly. From cohost and fellow French chef Jacques P\u00e9pin to close friend and baking maven Dorie Greenspan, the love for Child is palpable.

\n“Let me start by stating the obvious: Working with Julia Child was one of the great experiences of my life. Anyone who didn\u2019t know Julia but who fell in love with her on television, through her books or maybe even by watching Meryl Streep play her in the\u00a0Julie & Julia\u00a0film will be happy (maybe even relieved) to learn that the\u00a0real-life Julia was exactly the same person you fell in love with from afar. She was the real deal through and through.
