Julia passed in 2004, just when food culture and recipes from all over the world exploded. But the past informs the future. From a young man in my 20's copying food video show recipes. To today, doing the same on the internet. And still learning new recipes from her and Jacques 40 years later in my 60's.
I will continue to find new recipes from the past and the future. It's curiosity, exploration, and the satisfaction of the result. For me, it will never die. And because of their videos, these legends will also never die. You don't have to get paid, or pay a lot to eat well. Or even cook for others than yourself. That's the satisfaction of it. And it will never end. 🙂
