Julia Child was one of my culinary mentors and treasured friends. I first met Julia on August 15, 1990 when I cooked her a birthday luncheon in Litchfield, NH on Ken Ryans organic vegetable farm. We would later cook again, this time to celebrate the publication of my new cookbook, The Shaker Kitchen, in September of 1994. Julia joined me at Canterbury Shaker Village where we taped a segment for Good Morning America. We kept up our friendship over the years through dinners in Boston and letters when she resided on the West coast to avoid New England winters.
