11 GIFs Of Julia Child Tasting Things

    In honor of the iconic chef's birthday, here she is, doing what she loved best.

    1. Boeuf bourguignon. "I've made quite a few beef stews lately."

    2. Sauce for boeuf bourguignon. "Doesn't taste good now at all."

    3. Bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise. "You don't want to fuss around with it afterwards, so be sure to taste it. It should be absolutely perfect at this point."

    4. Mashed baked potatoes. "It's always a good idea to taste it because you want to be sure you've got enough salt and pepper in."

    5. Potato soufflé. "I like them quite a dark brown. Just taste one."

    6. Sampling at a market in the south of France. *nods*

    7. Beef tartare au gratin. "It's very healthy because it's on a whole wheat pita, so that's nourishing."

    8. Sauce for cold lobster. "A drop of lemon in there. Maybe that's all I need to put in. I'll just taste it."

    9. Boiled lobster. "While you're eating the little legs, the rest of the lobster has the time to cool off a little bit, 'cause it's good and hot."

    10. Hamburgers. Julia Child, bickering and eating hamburgers with Jacques Pépin.

    11. Eggs benedict. They seem to agree that they always forget how delicious hollandaise sauce is.
