Julia Child in a Pressure Cooker

[aaronatthedoublef]

Hi,

This article was in the wSJ a couple weeks ago or so. It is behind the paywall but for those of you who can read it it's fascinating.

The author takes her Instant Pot with her on vacation and uses it to make a meal from Mastering the Art of French Cooking including a chocolate cake. It is reminiscent of some of the Zoe blogs on the KAF site.

Thanks! I remember watching an episode of a Julia Child show where she would cook with young, up-and-coming chefs.

The chef that day showed Julia an early generation bread maker which baked vertical loaves with a hole in the bottom. Mrs. Child smiled and was gracious but was less than impressed. I never saw her with anything like an instant pot but I wonder how she would have reacted to that.

While I loved Julia Child's show, she was a bit fussy about equipment. Early bread makers had a lot of limitations, but I liked my vertical Zo model 15, I never had one of the horizontal two-paddle machines.
