Julia Child in her kitchen with utensils and a warm smile - her happy place. An Unlikely Beginning Born in 1912 in sunny Pasadena, California, Julia Carolyn McWilliams  stood out — not just for her six-foot-two frame, but for her unflinching curiosity and charisma. Before she ever touched a whisk, Julia worked in advertising, typed up military files for the OSS (precursor to the CIA), and travelled the world. 🗣️ "In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude." – Julia Child But it was a lunch in Rouen — a plate of sole meunière  served with browned butter and lemon — that awakened her soul. That meal would change not only her life, but home cooking forever. 🎓 From Cordon Bleu to Cookbook Fame At 37, Julia enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu  in Paris, the only woman in a sea of serious (and mostly male) students. Unfazed by their disapproval, she chopped, sautéed, and stirred her way to mastery — laughing through every misstep. Isn't there something so inspiring about that? She met collaborators Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, and together they wrote a cookbook that would become a bible for home cooks: Mastering the Art of French Cooking . 🗣️ "The only real stumbling block is fear of failure." – Julia Child 🎥 The French Chef is Born Julia on the set of her cooking show In 1963, Julia became the host of The French Chef , one of the first cooking shows on American television. With charm, wit, and a touch of chaos, she welcomed viewers into her world. She dropped chickens, splashed wine, and laughed all the way through. A pioneer of real, unscripted cooking , Julia invited everyone to have a go! 🗣️ "People who love to eat are always the best people." Julia’s Influence in Australia While Julia may have been an American original, her legacy travelled across oceans. Australian home cooks and chefs alike  found her unique approach approachable — a celebration of flavour, not perfection. No longer did people feel under pressure to be this perfect cook and host. You could experiment and just try new things! From Melbourne to Margaret River, her cookbooks still grace kitchen shelves. Aspiring chefs quote her with the same reverence as they do Maggie Beer or Stephanie Alexander. 🔪 A Kitchen in the Smithsonian Julia passed away in 2004, just shy of her 92nd birthday. Her kitchen — lovingly preserved by her husband Paul — is now on display in the Smithsonian Museum. Her spirit, however, lives on in every whisked egg and slab of unsalted butter. 🗣️ "If you're afraid of butter, use cream." 🧈 Final Stir So the next time you’re pan-frying something ambitious or flambéing with one hand and sipping wine with the other, think of Julia — apron on, fearless in the face of fallen soufflés, reminding us that food is joy and that you are never too old to go after your passions. Bon appétit!

Whether you're jet-setting from the Land Down Under to the heart of London or embarking on any other marathon journey through the skies, surviving those 10+ hour slogs requires more than just a stiff upper lip. Fear not, intrepid traveler, for I come bearing a veritable treasure trove of tips and tricks to help you emerge from the other side of that interminable flight with your sanity (mostly) intact. That exciting, joyful moment when you have a free seat beside you Embrace Comfort with Reckless Abandon : Comfort is king when it comes to surviving marathon flights. Say sayonara to restrictive clothing and hello to your comfiest, stretchiness attire. Think cozy layers, breathable fabrics, and forgiving waistbands. You may not look like a fashion icon, but hey, neither does anyone else at 30,000 feet. Small person with you? Ensure bub is dressed in their sleepsuit or cozy sleepwear asap. And always, always carry extra changes of clothing for your little one as they will spill their drink and yours all over the tray tables. Guaranteed. Stretch Those Limbs : Remember to give your muscles a little love throughout the journey. Take regular walks up and down the aisle, do some in-seat stretches, and maybe even indulge in a little mid-flight yoga (just try not to inadvertently karate chop your seatmate in the process). Stay Hydrated (But Skip the In-Flight Coffee) : Hydration is key to combating the arid atmosphere of the aircraft cabin. Opt for water over caffeinated beverages to keep your body happy and healthy. Obviously, a little wine is gonna help your nerves, if you can stomach the tannins at that height. I love my red wine but get a piercing headache if I take one sip of it mid-flight. Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment : Load up your devices with enough movies, TV shows, podcasts, and e-books. And don't forget noise-canceling headphones to drown out the symphony of snores and in-flight announcements. For kids, download every kids movie and show you know will keep their attention for longer than 30 seconds! For older kids or tech-savvy kiddo's, have lots of apps downloaded that can played with no Wi-Fi needed. Peace. Snack Attack : Pack a stash of your favorite snacks to keep the hangry demons at bay. Raisins, cereal bars, popcorn? Just be sure to choose items that won't leave you feeling sluggish or bloated or worse, the kids going off their rockers on sugar. And please, consider smells - nobody wants to be that person who accidentally unleashes a egg or tuna sarnie to an unsuspecting cabin. Beauty Sleep (or at Least Beauty Rest) : Invest in a good travel pillow and eye mask to maximize your chances of catching some Z's en route. Sure, it may not be the same as your luxurious memory foam mattress back home, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Also take a light weight blanket and socks as cabin's can be freezing! Disclaimer - if you have a small person with you, you are very unlikely to get any sleep. You will curse every adult who is sleeping so peacefully around you as your child opens and closes the window blind 46 times every hour. Now, as for what to pack in your trusty carry-on, consider the following essentials: Travel-sized toiletries to combat that inevitable post-flight grime. Facial wipes, hand wipes, hand sanitizer, lip balm (my lips get so dry!), eye drops (to avoid red, dry eyes), mouthwash, tooth brush and mini tooth paste would all be helpful. A portable charger to keep your devices juiced up and ready for action. Blue-tooth earphones or headphones to enjoy your entertainment. A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated without constantly flagging down the flight attendants. Snacks (just remember to check airline regulations regarding outside food). A good or magazine for when your eyeballs need a break from screens. A pen for filling out customs forms and jotting down those brilliant ideas that inevitably strike at 30,000 feet. Sleep pills or Melatonin (but only if you aren't responsible for anyone as those bad boys will knock you out). I do hope this tips help you conquer even the most grueling of long-haul flights. Bon voyage, and may the friendly skies be ever in your favor.
