Julia Child Comes to Life at this Summit program on July 26

All those who love to cook will really enjoy a fun, lively look at the life and times of one of America's early celebrity chefs. This is a free program.

Come and hear the story of Julia Child, “My Life in France,” at The Summit of Uptown, 10 N. Touhy, Park Ridge, on Friday, July 26, at 1:30 p.m. when Lynn Rymarz, author and storyteller, tells us what led Julia to discover her passion for cooking French food and how it affected the rest of her life.  There is no charge for the program and light refreshments will be served.

In Julia’s own words, Rymarz will describe the French Chef’s journey into French culture and cooking classes at Le Cordon Bleu.   Sharing her struggles as well as her successes—including her own cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and her television show—she will tell you herself that she never would have had any of this without meeting the love of her life, Paul Child.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early or stay late for tours of the newly renovated retirement community.  Those who attend are eligible for the Summit Guest Rewards Program which offers opportunities to earn rewards and prizes such as gift cards or lunch or brunch for two at Summit. Parking is available in the City’s central parking lot and the Uptown lot across the street. For a list of other entertaining events at The Summit of Uptown which is proudly celebrating its 30th anniversary of providing quality services to seniors, visit www.summitofuptown.com.
