Julia Child's - "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" - A Short History

Julia Child; born in Pasadena, California as Julia Carolyn McWilliams August 15, 1912.

Julia Child spent her early years in California where she grew up and attended school. Julia Child's first position out of college was with W. & J. Sloane as a copywriter in New York City. A few year in 1937 after her debut on Madison Avenue, Child's moved back to California, where she continued to write and work in advertising.

Julia Child met her husband Paul Child, while serving with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services the forerunner of today's CIA) in 1944.

Paul and Julia were married in 1946 and soon after he joined the US Foreign Service. Paul Child had a taste for fine food, probably due in part to living in Paris prior to meeting Julia. As a employee of the US Foreign Service, Paul was sent to Paris in 1948, where he introduced his new bride to sophisticated French Cuisine. Julia described her first meal in Rouen, France as "a culinary revelation".

Paul's work at the embassy would keep him away from Julia most of the day, creating a void and desire to offset her boredom. So, Julia began to enrolled in many different classes. Eventually she enrolled in the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. It was no easy task at first, being in a school of only men at the time, she had to learn to love cooking as much as she loved eating.

Julia Child's graduation from Le Cordon Bleu created an opportunity for her to meet the two women that would become co-authors of her first cookbook "Mastering The Art of French Cooking"; Simon Beck and Louisette Bertholle. The two had create a cookbook that featured French Cooking for Americans, but lacked the proper English translation. Julia was asked to join the women and added her own translation and special American slant to the manuscript.

Child's kitchen was used as the training grounds for American women to learn French Cooking and the trio began teaching classes and testing recipes from the Paris kitchen. During this time Julia's husband Paul, was transferred by the US Foreign Services to various locations throughout Europe. Julia moved with him, while continuing to write the book and test new recipes.

Although they spent most of their time in Europe, Paul and Julia would also spend summers in Maine. Julia made her first trip there in 1947, visiting Mount Desert, where Paul's family owned a 20 acre parcel. She continued to test and write even while visiting Maine. And according to her Brother-in Law Charles Child's book "Roots in the Rock", she used a stove nicknamed "John Henry", to cook her creative dishes.

It took Eight years to complete and in 1961, after it's rejection from publisher Houghton Mifflin, Alfred A. Knopf finally published the book. The final cookbook titled "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking" was a total of 734 pages. It became a best seller and put Julia Child on the map.

Julia Child's career blasted off from there, as she began to write columns for the larger newspapers along with TV guest appearances which lead to Julia Child's first television show "The French Chef". The show first aired in February 1963, there were other cooking shows on TV at the time, but Julia's was a huge success right from the start. Eventually running for more than ten years.

Julia Child also wrote four more books: a second from the recipes she created on the TV show "The French Chef Cookbook". The Third book "Mastering The Art of French Cooking; Volume II" came out in 1971, co-authored by Simone Beck (Louisette Bertholle was not asked to participate as the partner was dissolved). And a fourth book that featured Paul Child's photographs of Julia's kitchen and recipes.

Julia Child's mastery was viewed by millions on the TV shows of the 70's and 80', but didn't stop there. She also produce a video series in 1989 called "The Way To Cook". Julia Child's cooking, experimentation, openness to new ideas and tools (the microwave, food processor...) and her love of cooking, inspired many of today's fine chef's and TV cooking shows. Her love for cooking as well as eating shone through her many cooking programs.

You may recall Julia flipping an omelet that ended up on the counter, only to pick it up and place it back in the pan stating " just put it back in the pan if no one's around, they'll never know, just pat it down..."

A Short History of Tarot Cards

Tarot cards are both mysterious and accurate method of divination, or in other words, foretelling the future. But it's rarely known to people that are unfamiliar with the subject of occult, that tarot is probably the youngest of all major divination systems that are currently known to mankind, and it's known to us for less than five hundred years. Therefore, it cannot be compared to other divination systems such as Runes or IChing which are a lot older.

Tarot is very important part of both history and culture of European civilization. The mysterious and dark cards are directly connected to kings and dukes, governments, and great moments of European history. 78 cards are probably the most popular aspect of western occultism, too.

Tarot cards were created in Italy, probably in the city of Milan, around 15th century. The creator of first tarot deck is unknown to historians. But what we know for sure is the fact that the first deck was created as playing cards and nothing more. It was not meant for any divination or magical purposes at first. This deck contained cards from 1 through 10 in four suites, with two court cards - knight and king. To each court, a new card was added - a queen card. But that wasn't the only change made to Tarot cards, a number of 22 special cards was added as well. That was something new, something that wasn't present in any playing cards at the time. New cards were symbolic in nature, they contained pictures with special characters or subjects, for example Emperor, Pope, Wheel of Fortune, Death, Devil or the Moon. In this way, minor and major arcana was created.

And new game was created - similar to bridge, but because of new 22 cards, it outranked everything else that has been played during the 15th century. This game has been called A Game of Triumphs and it quickly spread throughout all of Europe, becoming popular in Italy, France, Austria and Germany. With time, decks developed, and numbers of cards disappeared totally, while pictures and images on cards changed into more complex pieces of art.

But it took few centuries before the Tarot became the symbol of the occult arts. It took place especially in France and in England - mystical potential of tarot cards was discovered, magical meanings were understood, and new divination system was born. Since then, Tarot cards are true symbols of western occultism, and today, they're the most popular European divination system in use.

I strongly encourage you to explore the subject of tarot history further, and learn names, dates and more historical events that are directly connected to Tarot.

A Brief History of ARPA

Images depicting a random person on the street, the harp, and is likely to describe a great tool difficult to use. However, all harps are not the same. They vary in size in characters. But where exactly this seemingly simple instrument, they came from?

The harp is an ancient instrument, having already seen that around 2500 BC, which has continued for a major force in today's world of music. This tool has been developed in many ways over the past four millennia. There are various harpsCome and develop from Egypt, Ireland, and many other places and cultures. As the diatonic harp, triple-strung, single-action pedal, cross-string chromatic and double-action pedal was used.

The old Kinnor that an instrument that is played by David King said, is like the Old Testament, often confused with the harp. The Kinnor is actually a kind of zither. However, the world's first harp dating back to ancient Egypt.

In ancient Egypt, the first evidence of aHarp dates back as early as 2500 BC These harps were actually shaped like a bow or a very small angle, which forced her to have a small number of strings. The lack of a supporting pillar, the harps do not support a lot of tension. In the first column appears in the Middle Ages in Western Europe, then what is known as a frame harp in that 8 to 10 centuries. Such as frame harps harps were known. This was also the first to use a resonator to amplify the harpthe sound of the instrument.

European harps than the Celtic harp and were known as the Renaissance harps. They had ropes attached to wooden pegs, and the column was thinner and less curved. These were known as diatonic.

The triple-strung harps appeared in the late 16th century after the invention of a Double-Strung Harp. A triple-Strung Harp has three rows of strings, and it was easy to play and step up. The single-action pedal harp was designed in 1720. This harphas been hung a combination of a diatonic harp, zither and a single, but also includes new features such as pedals known. This included only five pedal harp, the harp now use seven.

Harps others, which were designed by the previous inventions, improvements have been incredible from the diatonic and the double-action pedal. These harps were built in early 1800.

The harp is a beautiful, people love to play and listen to the sounds of the strings of resonance. The history of the harpcomes from all the way to 2500 BC and is still played today, and as an instrument of high quality.
