Julia Carolyn Child (née McWilliams; August 15, 1912 – August 13, 2004) was an American cooking teacher, author, and television personality. She is recognized for bringing French cuisine to the American public with her debut cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her subsequent television programs, the most notable of which was The French Chef, which premiered in 1963.
Death
Child, who died two days before her 92nd birthday, had been suffering from kidney failure, Cousins said. “America has lost a true national treasure,” Nicholas Latimer, director of publicity for Child's publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, said in a statement. “She will be missed terribly.”
