10年：10個人的成功傳奇

知命之年：朱莉婭?查爾德

出生日期：1912年8月15日

????對于自己的廚房已在史密森尼美國國家歷史博物館（Smithsonian's National Museum of American History）得到復制的朱莉婭?查爾德而言，她對成功的看法非常具有個人色彩。 她在2000年接受《時尚先生》（Esquire）雜志采訪時說：“公眾遲早會忘記你，對于你的記憶會逐漸消失。但重要的是，你在人生旅途中影響到的那些個人。衡量成就的標準并不是獲獎，而是做自己喜歡做、而且相信值得做的某件事情。”

????我們都已經知道，對于查爾德而言，這件事情就是食物。她35歲左右的時候，她丈夫保羅?查爾德被派往巴黎，擔任美國大使館的文化交流大使，她作為隨遷配偶也遷往巴黎。她在那里愛上了法國烹飪，還進入巴黎藍帶烹飪學校（Le Cordon Bleu cooking school）學習，師從幾名廚藝大師，最終與法國朋友西莫內?貝克和路易賽特?貝爾托勒一起教授烹飪課程。她們三人在1961年出版了《掌握法國烹飪藝術》（Mastering the Art of French Cooking）一書。這本書后來成為暢銷書，進而讓查爾德走上了成功烹飪作家的職業(yè)生涯。

????20世紀60年代，她在獲獎烹飪節(jié)目《法國廚師》（The French Chef）中擔任主角：以一種聲音低沉、獨特低調的方式向一代美國人傳授烹飪方法。隨后的幾十年里，她的廚房成為其他幾個電視烹飪節(jié)目的場景。

50-something: Julia Child

Born: Aug. 15, 1912

????For someone whose kitchen has been reproduced in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, Julia Child's outlook on success was remarkably personal. "Sooner or later, the public will forget you, the memory of you will fade. What's important are the individuals you've influenced along the way," she told Esquire in 2000. "The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It's doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile."

????That something for Child, as we all know, was food. In her mid-30s, she moved to Paris as the trailing spouse to her husband Paul Child, assigned there as an officer with the U.S. Information Agency. She fell in love with French cuisine, studying at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school, learning from master chefs and eventually teaching cooking classes with French friends Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle. The trio published Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961, which became a bestseller and launched Child into a successful food-writing career.

????In the 1960s, she starred in the award-winning cooking show The French Chef, teaching a generation how to cook in a distinctive, low voice and unassuming manner. In subsequent decades, her kitchen became the setting for several other TV cooking shows.
