On this day in history, August 13, 2004, iconic American chef Julia Child dies
American cooking expert, television personality and cookbook author Julia Child died on this day in history, Aug. 13, 2004, in Santa Barbara, California.
Known for her promotion of traditional French cuisine, especially through her programs on public television, Child taught millions of Americans how to cook and helped elevate the nation’s culinary standards, according to NPR.
Child started her kitchen revolution in 1961 when she published, along with co-authors Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, the classic, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” the same source indicated.

With over one million copies sold and a 40th anniversary edition published in 2001, the book is still considered the definitive classical French cookbook in the English language, according to The Spokesman-Review.
Her subsequent cookbooks included “The French Chef Cookbook”; “Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. II,” with Beck; “From Julia Child’s Kitchen”; “Julia Child & Company”; “Julia Child & More Company”; and “The Way to Cook,” in October 1989.

Child had a goal of promoting classic cooking methods and ideologies.
“In spite of food fads, fitness programs and health concerns, we must never lose sight of a beautifully conceived meal,” Child is quoted as saying in “The Way to Cook.”
Child was 51 when she debuted on television as “The French Chef.”

This groundbreaking series began in 1963 and continued for 206 episodes, the same source noted.
Child, who had a towering 6-foot 2-inch frame and a distinct warbling voice, ended each show with “Bon appétit,’” noted Britannica.com.

Child was born in Pasadena, California, on Aug. 15, 1912, as Julia Carolyn McWilliams, and grew up in a life of wealth and privilege, said the National Women’s History Museum.
Her father was a banker and landowner, while her mother hailed from the Weston family, proprietors of the Weston Paper Company in Massachusetts, the same source recounted.
Child graduated from Smith College.
Following World War II, she married Paul Child, whom she had met while working for the Office of Strategic Services in India.
“We must never lose sight of a beautifully conceived meal.”
Paul Child worked for the U.S. Foreign Service, and in 1948, the couple was posted to Paris for his work.

“It was in Paris that Child began to take cooking seriously, and enrolled in the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school,” noted The National Women’s History Museum.
The couple returned to the U.S. in the 1960s and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

At this time, Child was approached by television executives to host a cooking show, “The French Chef,” based on her book, the same source chronicled.
More than two decades after the last show was filmed, the series remained a hit for PBS and cable, noted multiple sources.

In 2009, Nora Ephron used that volume as half of the story she told in the hit movie, “Julie & Julia,” which starred Meryl Streep as the popular chef, the same source said.
Child received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003 from President George W. Bush.
Child received several honors, including a Peabody Award (1964), an Emmy Award (1966) for her television work and a National Book Award in 1980 for her book, “Julia Child and More Company,” published by Knopf.
Child also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003 from President George W. Bush.
In 2007, Child was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
In addition, select items from her kitchen and cooking implements were put on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C, according to Britannica.com.
Child died just two days before her 92nd birthday, on Aug. 13, 2004.

The New Hampshire man accused of opening fire inside a country club last year, killing one person, reportedly confessed to the shooting, telling investigators he aimed to kill the rich.
Hunter West Nadeau, 24, told police he carried out the shooting at a steakhouse located at the Sky Meadow Club in Nashua in an effort to retaliate against the rich because “they were not helping the poor,” according to a police affidavit obtained by The Boston Globe.
The affidavit reportedly pointed to surveillance video showing Nadeau entering the club’s main entrance around 7:17 p.m. Sept. 20, wearing a black hoodie and carrying a green backpack.
Nadeau then allegedly walked to Prime steakhouse, put on a face mask and brandished a gun, firing five shots at employee Steve Burtman, according to the affidavit.

Burtman, who was reportedly stationed at the front desk, was struck in the face, the outlet reported. He survived his injuries.
Surveillance footage then reportedly shows Nadeau entering the restaurant and firing five more shots toward numerous patrons.
Nadeau allegedly struck and killed 59-year-old Robert Steven DeCesare, who was dining with his wife and daughter. A third patron was also injured as he allegedly fired multiple shots toward a group of individuals.

Nadeau then “continued to shoot until he was attacked by other patrons in the restaurant, and he retreated back through the doors of the steakhouse,” the affidavit said.
A witness previously told The Associated Press Nadeau allegedly yelled “Free Palestine” as the chaos was unfolding.
Police subsequently located Nadeau on the club’s golf course, where he “was bleeding from apparent self-inflicted incised wounds to [his] arms and wrists, and made statements to the effect that he was a ‘bad guy,’” according to the filing.
He then reportedly took responsibility for the shooting, telling officers about his negative feelings toward the affluent.

Speaking to authorities from his hospital bed, Nadeau told investigators “he was tired of the ‘elites’ taking all the money,” according to the outlet.
Nadeau also reportedly told investigators he chose Sky Meadow because he had previously worked there and knew members were affluent.
“He said that he settled on Sky Meadow as a location because he worked there about a year ago as a server and knew that you had to have money to have a membership there,” police said, according to the Globe.

“He was not targeting a specific person but did not care whether he killed someone or not,” police reportedly added.
Additionally, Nadeau explained why he targeted a wedding being held at the venue at the time of the shooting, telling police “he did not want to target ‘civilians,’” according to the outlet.
At the time, the shooting came less than one year after Luigi Mangione allegedly opened fire on UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in an apparent assassination in midtown Manhattan. Investigators have pointed to similar ideological motives behind Mangione’s alleged crimes.

In January, prosecutors filed multiple charges against Nadeau, including first-degree murder and reckless second-degree murder, according to the New Hampshire Department of Justice.
He is being held without bail as he awaits trial.
