The Julia Child Challenge

Home cooks and avid fans of Julia Child face off in a two-round culinary showdown where they strive to impress a panel of judges with their skills and personal connections to the iconic chef. The first round focuses on mastering foundational techniques, as competitors recreate one of Julia's classic dishes, guided by her own teachings displayed on a large screen. In the second round, participants craft unique dishes inspired by Julia, sharing their culinary stories in a family-style tasting. Antonia Lofaso and a rotating cast of guest judges will determine the winner, who receives a transformative three-month cooking course at Le Cordon Bleu.
