In this podcast, I describe how important Julia Child has been to my life as a foodie. I describe four encounters: one written, in which I read Julia's book The Cooking of Provincial France, one physical, in which I visit the taping of Julia's omelet show in between jobs in French restaurants; one by phone, in which I am sitting in Judith Jones' office while she is talking to Julia; and the fourth physical again, in which I show off my new culinary software to Julia. The first half of my professional life was devoted to the chemistry of food preparation and enjoyment, and Julia really contributed to my professional development. So, hats off to a truly remarkable woman!
Toward the end of the podcast, I describe our current progress in developing two villages in Côte d'Ivoire as chocolate and cocoa producers. If you like our work, please feel free to visit www.projecthopeandfairness.org and make a donation.

As you can imagine, doing things that completely alter how food has been produced and distributed for 12,000 years requires a lot of effort and a lot of money.
