- Julia Child, a dear friend and long-time supporter of the CIA, and member of the college's Hall of Fame, visited our Hyde Park campus in 1990 for a special event with our students. While on campus, she sat down with Dr. Tim Ryan, now the CIA's President, to discuss her thoughts on food and future trends in the industry. The CIA wanted to share a few highlights of this discussion with you. We hope you enjoy them.
I adore Julia Child, her videos are fantastic her recipes are still number one no one is better. Keep up the wonderful video of Julia Child.
Julia Child, delightful and wise as always. This excerpt has whetted my appetite -- please upload the entire interview!
This is classic. When she passed away, style and good-spirit left the culinary arena. Martha Stewart is no Julia Child.
When it said CIA, for some reason [though I knew it was Julia Child we are talking about], my mind automatically went to "Central Intelligence Agency".
It's so cool that Julia Child visited The Culinary Institute of America.
Strangely and funnily enough, she was in the OSS during WWII. The OSS eventually became the Central Intelligence Agency. She wasn't a spy but her life before cooking - which she came to in later life - was already quite interesting.
She was definitely a spy.
Ooooh, this CIA, not the other CIA
she was in the actual CIA too! (well its predecessor, OSS)
@2dasimmons We still have her Jacques Pepin who hosted her final cooking show with her in 1999, and Sarah Moulton, the very talented host of Cooking Live that was on the Food Network back when it was still worth watching who worked under Julia on her cooking with more company show. And we have talented home cooks who are still learning with Julia. However, there is only one Julia.
" top secret researcher working directly for the head of OSS, General William J. Donovan"
you have learned wrong. she was working for OSS doing office work indeed!
i learned in french class that she wanted to be a spy but the OSS would never let her due to her height and her voice she would have a hard time blending in
She wanted to join the Women's Army Corps, but they were the ones who turned her down because of her height. That's when she joined the OSS
@macintub Considering she was a spy in WW2 it's not hard to believe she'd be at the "other" CIA. Although in her time it was the OSS.
I just want to know what the name of the song at the beginning is.
If I remember correctly it was the wacs who turned her down because of her height, or at least that is the story. I've not researched it to see if it is true or not.
stereo fail!
