| Pizza made on a base of roasted eggplant, from a recipe found in From Julia Child's Kitchen. |
If you're interested in food, you must have heard that August 15 would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday. I was honored to be one of the bloggers asked to share thoughts of Julia in a tribute written for PBS Food, and my friend Lydia completely captured why food bloggers want to honor Julia in her post on Six Lessons I Learned About Food Blogging from Julia Child. Julia was known for her appreciation of bread, butter, and wine, so when you're writing a blog focused on low-glycemic cooking, finding a suitable Julia Child recipe that will appeal to your readers can be a challenge. That's why I was so excited to find Eggplant Pizzas in From Julia Child's Kitchen, my one and only Julia Child cookbook. This recipe illustrates perfectly how Julia was ahead of her time with this low-carb, gluten-free, vegetarian, and low-glycemic pizza.
(This recipe is part of the Cook for Julia project that's part of the celebration at PBSFood. Thanks for the inspiration Julia, and also for showing us that cooking gourmet food at home was not only possible, but also a lot of fun. Check after my recipe for links to other blog posts featuring recipes from Julia, and see more recipe ideas on Facebook from PBS.food.)
