Since 1881 Photograph by Douglas Rider Culinary icon Julia Child autographs her newly released book, 'Julia's Kitchen Wisdom,' Friday at Sur La Table in Los Gatos.
Child is currently on a promotional tour for the book.
The Queen of the Kitchen came to town last week. She has actually been named a Living Legend by the Library of Congress and has won the highest honor bestowed by the French government, the Legion of Honor for her work in the culinary field. Most people waited in line more than two hours to view this culinary treasure. The line outside the store turned the corner, stretched for two blocks. Child was scheduled to sign for an hour and a half, but extended her time for an hour so that those who had waited so long wouldn't be disappointed.
