Co-host Tigger Montague reflects on how Julia Child inspired bravery in a generation of household chefs — and how our homemade dog food creations can benefit today:
“I think many of us who started our dog journeys with kibble become fearful of changing course, afraid to give kibble the boot and move on to new explorations with food and health.
I was afraid once too. It seemed daunting and I felt out of my element. Vets recommend kibble — why buck the system?
It was probably the same for many American housewives when they were first exposed to Julia and French cooking. Convenience foods already had placement on grocery shelves (Swanson TV dinners come to mind), not to mention the growing category of ‘time-saving devices.’ Giving up convenience to make a French dish was no doubt intimidating.
And yet, some housewives took the leap, while others at least incorporated elements of French recipes or techniques they learned from Julia’s show. Convenience-food demand would continue to grow, but from those mothers in the 1960s came the foodies, farmers, and chefs of the decades to come.”
