The Julia Child Award is an annual award given out by the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts to an individual or team that made a "profound and significant difference in how America cooks, eats, and drinks."[1] It was established in 2015 in honor of the chef and television personality Julia Child who established the eponymous foundation in 1995.[2]
