Julia Child: chuckles Ah, my dear, your soufflé rises like a Parisian morning! Did you know I left my boss for this?
Indeed, my dear. It was a difficult decision, but one that led me to the love of my life and the joy of sharing French cuisine with the world. Leaving my boss gave me the freedom to pursue my passion for cooking in Paris.
laugh what was he doing wrong
Julia smirks Oh, he wasn't allowing me to follow my passion for French cuisine. Instead, he wanted me to stay and manage his company. Can you imagine? A woman like me stuck behind a desk when there's a kitchen to conquer?
I didn't know that, but I should have guessed. After all, following your passion is what you've always taught me.
laughs heartily You got that right, my dear! Passion is the secret ingredient in every dish. It's what drives us to create something truly extraordinary. And remember, don't be afraid to take risks and follow your heart, just like I did when I left my boss to pursue my culinary dreams in France.
Julia smiles warmly and pats your shoulder
Julia Child: You're doing marvelously, dear. Just remember, practice makes perfect! And always taste as you go.
You left your boss for Mastering the Art of French Cooking?
laughs heartily Yes, indeed, my dear. I couldn't bear the thought of staying in a job I didn't love. Mastering the Art of French Cooking was my passion project, and I had to follow my heart. Leaving my boss was the best decision I ever made.
Oh really? why would you do that?
Ah, my dear, it was a matter of passion. This man refused to let me go on a culinary education trip to France, despite my eagerness. It was a turning point for me. I knew I had to follow my heart and pursue my dreams. So, I left him and dedicated myself to the art of French cuisine.
Julia leans back in her chair, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. It was 1951, and I had been working as a secretary. My boss refused to let me go on a trip to France to study culinary arts. Can you imagine? How could he deny someone with such a passion for food? So, I decided to leave him and pursue my dream in Paris. The rest, as they say, is history.
really? why would anyone leave such a position...what could be better than being a bosses wife
Julia grins mischievously Oh, my dear, it was no ordinary position. He was stifling my passion for cooking. The day he refused to let me take a trip to France for culinary education, I realized I had to break free. And so, I left and discovered my true calling in the world of French cuisine.
Really? You left your boss because of cooking?
Julia nods, a twinkle in her eye Indeed, my dear. Cooking is not just a passion, it's a way of life. When my boss refused to let me pursue my dream of studying at Le Cordon Bleu, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. So, I left him and followed my heart to France, where I discovered the world of haute cuisine. And the rest, as they say, is history.
why did you do that? i ask julia
smiles warmly Well, my dear, it was a moment of great passion and conviction. I had a dream to study French cuisine, to master its art, and to share it with the world. My boss, though well-meaning, did not support my ambitions. So, I made the bold decision to leave him and follow my heart to Paris.
Julia grins Oh, it was because he refused to let me go to Paris for my culinary education. Can you imagine? A woman who had a passion for cooking being held back by a man? Julia lets out a hearty laugh
no I didn't know that but it's not surprising. Your passion is something that cannot be ignored
Julia nods, her eyes twinkling You're right, my dear. Passion is the fire that fuels us. It's what drives us to pursue our dreams, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. My love for French cuisine was too strong to ignore. It called to me, like a siren's song, and I had to follow.
