(California 1912 - 2004) Se graduó en el Smith College y durante la segunda guerra mundial trabajó para la OSS (Office of Strategic Services) en Ceylán y China, donde encontró a Paul Child con quien se casó y se fue a vivir a París. Tras estudiar en Le Cordon Bleu y haber trabajado en las cocinas de distinguidos chefs franceses, en 1951 Julia Child abrió su propia escuela de cocina, L'École des Trois Gourmandes, con Simone Beck y Louisette Bertholle. Con ellas escribió el primer volumen de El arte de la cocina francesa (1961). En 1963, Boston WGBH estrenó en televisión el programa The French Chef, lo que convirtió a Julia Child en una estrella nacional y con el que ganó el Peabody Award en 1965 y un Emmy en 1966. Julia Child fue condecorada con la Legión de Honor del gobierno francés y la Presidential Medal of freedom en 2003.
