Have Courage In The Kitchen







One of America’s most beloved cooks, Julia Child, was also one of the early pioneers of TV cooking.  Her show, “The French Chef”, premiered in 1963.







The show was recorded live from start to finish.







Once, as Julia prepared to flip a potato pancake, she looked at the camera and advised that courage was the key to the successful flip.







 







Julia Child Failed But Remained Unflustered







Julia missed the flip and it was spectacular.   Part of the potato pancake landed on the stove.







Unflustered, Julia simply picked up the pieces, rearranged them in the pan and looked at the camera.  She advised her faithful viewers that, “The only way you learn to flip things is just to flip them!”







 







Knowledge and Experience Equals Courage In The Kitchen







Courage in the kitchen is built on knowledge and experience.  Master the basics and never be afraid to try something new.







 







Courage Defined By A 15-Year-Old







Hannah, my youngest daughter shares Julia’s birthdate, August 15.  In high school, Hannah wrote a poem that brilliantly captures the spirit of courage:  What Is Courage?







Courage is something Deep inside everyone.







Courage is that tiny yearning to be Something bigger and better.







Courage is the naturalness of dancing Along the lines of risk and danger.







Courage is living honestly in your dreams Rather than dishonestly in the dreams of others.







Courage is having doubts. When everyone else is so certain.







Courage is being different. And not living up to anyone’s expectations.







Courage is taking that extra step out into the unknown… Not even thinking what lies ahead.







Courage is living…when all you’re required to do is survive.
