Julia Child’s Second Act: Alex Prud’homme Tells All Sittin' in the Kitchen

    • Food

Alex Prud'homme had a special bond with his great aunt, Julia Child. I found Alex an affable and warm person. Perhaps that's because we both had a special connection to Julia – I was her dear friend. In 2016, I interviewed Alex Prud'homme while he was on a book tour promoting The French Chef in America. You can listen to our conversation here (and I highly recommend it – Alex is delightful!):  https://www.marionkane.com/podcast/julia-childs-act-alex-prudhomme/ 
There are two staples from Julia in my cooking repertoire: Potatoes Anna and Lemon Loaf Cake. You'll find both of those recipes here: https://www.marionkane.com/recipe-2/potato/alex-prudhomme-julia-childs-act/ 

In 1999, Julia visited to the Toronto Star test kitchen where Julia sampled from delicious dishes of Toronto’s most talented chefs. The video is here: https://youtu.be/LtH6nDnaYog?si=xnLvlSH4w3DsCUUW
