Julia Child
The one and only Julia Child, well known for bringing French cuisine to the American public. Julia's debut cookbook, Mastering The Art Of French Cooking was so successful she was given one of the very first cooking shows on American television, The French Chef. Julia is definitely a pioneer in the cooking world and we wouldn't be where we are today without her. It has even been said that Mastering the Art of French Cooking "did more than any other event in the last half-century to reshape the gourmet dining scene."

You all have made it tough this month. Two chefs that I love Julia Child and Ruth Reichl.
I agree with Diane, this is a tough one.
Is commiting and convicted of fraudulent act(s) a disqualifying criterion for IHCC chefs? Do we draw a line somewhere? Do we care?
I just can't again for the second week in a row, so since I love eggs I made Ripert's French-Style Scrambled Eggs! Go me!
I love lentils and Eric Ripert's simple soup from his Instagram account.
Regarding the comment about Martha Stewart, I think everyone needs to vote how they feel. Although she wasn't the person I ended up voting for, I feel like her crime was fourteen years ago and she did her time and seems to have bounced back career-wise with new cookbooks and shows and I have no issues with her.
Thanks for clarifying. In places where I worked, I wouldn't have been able to take or keep my job without a clean criminal record. That's the standard I've abided by. Most likely, I wouldn't want to support or promote any chef, man or woman, on my blog with anything less than, what in my mind, a minimum standard. Furthermore, I have concerns about the proverbial slippery slope. I hope we don't nominate chefs who have been accused of harassing or assaulting women. #MeToo. I believe the line has to be drawn somewhere!
Understood and everyone needs to vote their heart and/or choose what to do if someone they don't agree with for any reason is selected. Rest assured we would not knowingly put up a nomination of any chef accused of harassing or assaulting anyone (regardless of their sex) & for anything in that vein or otherwise, or worse.
No names were mentioned. Nothing personal against any individual chef. It's certain appalling fraudulent acts and behavior that I feel have no place in our day-to-day attempts in serving up something good and tasteful. I hope we can all agree on that!
