Julia Child's first public television series The French Chef "changed forever the way Americans cook… That learning to cook could lead an American woman to success of any kind would have seemed utterly implausible in 1949; that it is so thoroughly plausible 60 years later owes everything to Julia Child's legacy" (New York Times).
