**Please note: this event is now sold out.**Julia Child changed the way Americans looked at food. She famously said that before she learned to cook, she merely ate. Her cheerful and accessible demeanor and on-screen presence told millions of television viewers over several decades that creating delicious food enhanced one’s appreciation of a good meal. She once said, “I believe in red meat. I've often said: red meat and gin.”
Join the VMHC on August 22nd at 6 PM as we partner with Richmond distillery Virago Spirits for 'Julia Child & the Art of the Cocktail". We will celebrate Child’s legacy with a select menu of cocktails and snacks inspired by her most iconic recipes. Virago Spirits is named for the Hellenistic philosophy of the “virago” - a woman of “great stature, strength, and courage.” Child perfectly embodies this philosophy – a breaker of barriers and challenger of the status quo, and certainly a larger-than-life figure in American culture.
Guests will also have the opportunity to visit the limited-time exhibition, "Julia Child: A Recipe for Life".
