HUNGRY: The Literary Julia Child
Series produced by Leet and Litwin

A set of special programs on food in fiction -- started in 1997 but never aired till now. Julia introduces classics "about eating, some cooking, and most of all about people." Stories are performed by actors or the authors themselves, and sometimes chefs step in with recipes.
These programs have been made possible in part by the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.HUNGRY VALENTINE is an hour of love stories that center on the kitchen.

Fisher performing a story she wrote in 1937, about an over-the-top meal in France.Future programs will... Show full description
