Culinary Icon Julia Child would have turned 100 years old today! In her honor I baked a Reine de Saba.
This cake will be served tonight at my table. We are having a family Dinner with my son that is going to study in Hong Kong for four months. It will be the last time that the five of us can be together until Christmas or New Year. I will have a chance to visit him in November. Can't wait.
I participated in the JC100 Project along fabulous bloggers, chefs, restaurants, bookstores. We are celebrating Julia and her legacy.
You can follow the project of Twitter: JC100
You can view the recipe on: An Uneducated Palate
More bloggers that baked the Reine de Saba:








I knew you would make something and I had a suspicion it would be chocolate! It looks gorgeous and will be a thing remembered at this special dinner. Hong Kong...wow...and you get to visit him as well! Such excitment over there!

Happy birthday to Julia. By the way I have met Laura from An Uneducated Palate she is from here. As it so happens we first met at a cooking class at Mission Hill Winery "A Night with Julia Child".
