The Omelet That Launched a Revolution

This episode tells the true story of Julia Child's path from wartime OSS records work and a shark-repellent project to Le Cordon Bleu, the long grind behind Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and the WGBH omelet that helped launch The French Chef. The delivery is theatrical and lightly comic, but the facts are sourced and the hardship is handled with care.
