Who Is Julia Child A Hero

Improved Essays
Whisks and bowls have always intrigued me, the way cakes rise in the oven, or cookies become solid. Since I was little I have loved watching the Food Network, and now I have added so much to my cooking repertoire. “Julia Child was a beloved American icon who pioneered an entire genre of cooking shows and taught a generation of food lovers that cooking can be easy and enjoyable”, says KPBS (pbs.org) I have so many “heroes” for my love of cooking, like my grandma or my parents, but one woman stands out the most to me. Julia Child. She is such an inspiration to chefs of all ages. Julia Child is my hero because she followed her dream, she traveled, and she became a baking legend. Julia Child followed her dream, even from a young age. Julia Child’s

    Is Janie Crawford a hero or anti-her? After reading the book Their Eyes Are Watching God, I have come to my own opinion of saying Janie is a hero. I say this because even though Janie had made the commitment to mary not one but two men, even though she wasn’t happy with the relationship she had the guts to say that she was done, and go marry the guy she truly loves. Even though Tea Cake was poor, Janie was truly happy to be with the guy she loved. That is why I think Janie is hero.…

    Unsurprisingly, Joe went against his doctor and Caitlin’s advices by staying by Barry’s side and not take the rest his body wanted. The event of earlier terrified him a lot more than Joe was willing to admit. Both Iris and Joe had been sitting on the hero’s bedside for hours, in a defining silence, observing any changes on the young man’s face. They agreed with Caitlin that it was probably best if there was as little people as possible in the room, people he knew for a long time, to make sure he would stay calm the next time he would awaken. They didn’t have to wait too long for Barry to show signs of waking up.…

    The book revealed many behind the scene lives of chefs, Bourdian comments that; “We lived with a sort of friendly contempt for everybody else. Everybody in the kitchens had idiosyncrasies, whether they stole everything in sight, drank like crazy, did lots of drugs, gambled all night, were screwing their way through the floor, the customers, everybody in sight (Thorn, 2000).” Anthony compares writing to cooking and realizes that they are both completely different forms of expressing yourself. Cooking allows one to use all five senses: sight, smell, touch, hear, and taste, while writing only utilizes one – sight. Bourdain’s book “Kitchen Confidential”, “swaggers where the rest of us fear to tread.”…

However, the gentrification of food is now commonplace and ‘soul food’ is not exempt, “Collard greens were suddenly the “new kale,” according to a Whole Foods marketing ploy last year. Sweet potatoes, once an economical source of rich nutrients, have made their way into cupcakes, pancakes, and even quesadillas. A bevy of food bloggers has “discovered” sweet potato pie” (Taylor, 2015). The Southern food versus ‘soul food’ argument, although essentially irreverent here, can be heated.…
