“She was a brilliant writer and a daring, original person and she will not be forgotten,” Clain said in a statement. “We are sending our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Julie, whether personally or through the deep connections she forged with readers of her memoirs.” The project involved cooking all 524 recipes from Child’s 1961 classic “Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1″ from her tiny, broken-down apartment in Long Island City, Queens that she shared with her husband.

For her final film the late writer and director Nora Ephron adapted the book into an Oscar-nominated feature film, starring Meryl Streep as Child and Amy Adams as Powell.
