The Bite (Issue 55): Our Lady of the Ladle

On "Julie & Julia" and culinary sainthood [View in browser](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlSNVPP0QyaHR0cHM6Ly9yZWFkLmxldHRlcmhlYWQuZW1haWwvdGhlLWJpdGUvbGV0dGVyLzYwNzJXA3NwY0IKY2RQUGZjGRZDwFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAl) In every botánica, or religious goods store, I’ve ever visited, there is always a wall of prayer candles — small votives pasted with illustrations of saints and martyrs whose spiritual gifts are contemplated or invoked upon the candle’s lighting. Light a candle in honor of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe to pray for someone, or light a candle in honor of St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes, to pray for yourself. But in recent years, as [Aditi Shrikant wrote for Vox](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlSNVPP0RjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm94LmNvbS90aGUtZ29vZHMvMjAxOS81LzEzLzE4NTM2ODgzL3ByYXllci1jYW5kbGUtY2VsZWJyaXR5LWV0c3ktYW9jLXJiZy1hcHByb3ByaWF0aW9uVwNzcGNCCmNkUFBmYxkWQ8BSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), the celebrity prayer candle has been on the rise. “Today, you can find just about anybody on a prayer candle — Cardi B, the Golden Girls, Steve Buscemi,” Shrikant wrote. “It’s a religious item whose customer base is expanding despite the growing population of Americans who don’t affiliate with any religion.” While most, if not all, of these candles are both made and received with a certain level of facetiousness or cynicism, there's something about the celebrities they depict that I think we do want to deify, even if just in some small way. I think this is especially true of some of the celebrity chef candles out there. Saint Guy Fieri, for instance, is like an everyman’s Bacchus, while Anthony Bourdain serves as a reminder to embrace both the enormity of the world and the little human moments found within it. Then, there’s Julia Child. Already, the way in which our culture discusses Child and her work — both of which were larger than life — borders on religious veneration. In 1966, TIME dubbed Child “[Our Lady of the Ladle](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlSNVPP0RJaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cua3BjYy5vcmcvc2hvdy9vZmZyYW1wLzIwMDYtMTItMDkvb3VyLWxhZHktb2YtdGhlLWxhZGxlLW9uLWR2ZFcDc3BjQgpjZFBQZmMZFkPAUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACU~).” Nearly 45 years later, Vanity Fair went with “[Our Lady of the Kitchen](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlSNVPP0RraHR0cHM6Ly9hcmNoaXZlLnZhbml0eWZhaXIuY29tL2FydGljbGUvc2hhcmUvY2ZmMDg1MDEtNzgwMC00ZTU1LWIwODUtZDVlNTY0MTEwMzQ2P2l0bV9jb250ZW50PWZvb3Rlci1yZWNpcmNXA3NwY0IKY2RQUGZjGRZDwFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAl).” And one of her most famous disciples was Julie Powell, the trailblazing author of “Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously,” who died at the age of 49 this week. Powell first rose to prominence as a food writer after she made the decision to chronicle her year cooking all 524 recipes from her mother's copy of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1." It wasn't going to be an easy road. Powell was an untrained home cook and, as she put it in the book she wrote about her project, her kitchen was located on top of "the rotting floorboards of [her] 'fixer-upper' 'loft."" Through her biting wit, intense authenticity and occasional vulgarity, Powell created a new model of food writing that was intensely personal and used classic recipes as a lens through which to view her life in New York City immediately following the 9/11 attacks. Her original blog chronicling the project, the “Julie/Julia Project,” launched at Salon in 2002 and garnered more than 400,000 readers over the course of the year. While Julia Child didn’t necessarily agree with the execution of Powell’s project ( the challenge-like nature of Powell’s allegedly struck Child as being unserious) I like to think of it as slight differences in theology. Both women were, in some sense, saved by cooking — and both wanted to make that feeling accessible to the everyday home cook. Powell proclaimed the gospel of Julia Child, and picked up some disciples of her own along the way, too. She will be missed. This week in The Bite, Salon Food’s weekly newsletter, we’re going to look at some work by and about Julie and Julia, including Julie Powell’s most recent work for Salon. — Ashlie
