Fashion Café: Julia Child’s Centennial Celebration
This week Neiman Marcus and Les Dames d’Escoffier Dallas, a worldwide philanthropic society of professional women leaders in fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality, celebrate Julia Child’s centennial by featuring some of her favorite recipes. Child, who passed away in 2004, would have turned 100 years old on August 15.
The American and French cuisine includes “New England-style” corn chowder, a Croque Madame, sautéed halibut filet in a bouillabaisse sauce and a Queen of Sheba cake for dessert. The featured Champagne and wines are Bollinger Special Cuvée, Chanson Viré-Clessé Chardonnay, M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage “La Petite Ruche” and a Syrah from Rhone.
In honor of her life, special donations can be made to Les Dames d’Escoffier International Legacy Awards, supported by The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. The Legacy Awards benefit women pursuing careers in food and wine.
As Child liked to say, putting her own twist on the expression, “Bon A Petiet.”
The Julia Child-inspired menu is available at The Zodiac at the NM Flagship in Downtown Dallas through August 18.
