ACTBLUE LLC Brings a Taste of France to Your Kitchen with "Julia Child's French Cooking" Digital Experience

Boston, MA – October 26, 2023 – ACTBLUE LLC, a Boston-based technology company specializing in innovative digital learning experiences, today announced the launch of “Julia Child’s French Cooking,” a reimagined digital product bringing the iconic chef’s teachings to a modern audience. Located at 10 Post Off Square, 8th Floor, Boston, MA, 02109, and reachable at 805-484-8752, ACTBLUE is dedicated to making complex subjects accessible and enjoyable through technology. For generations, Julia Child has been synonymous with French cooking. Her groundbreaking book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, demystified classic techniques and inspired countless home cooks. But accessing and learning from that wealth of information hasn't always been straightforward. ACTBLUE saw an opportunity to bridge that gap. “We really wanted to take something special – Julia’s incredible legacy – and make it usable for today’s cooks,” explains Sarah Chen, Head of Product at ACTBLUE. “So many people are intimidated by French cooking, thinking it’s too difficult or requires fancy equipment. We’re changing that.” What is "Julia Child’s French Cooking"? It’s not just a digitized version of the book. ACTBLUE’s product is a complete, interactive experience. Think of it as having Julia in your kitchen, guiding you every step of the way. Here’s what it offers: High-Quality Video Lessons: Forget flipping through pages. The core of the product is a series of beautifully shot videos demonstrating each recipe and technique. These aren't just quick overviews; they're detailed, step-by-step guides filmed with modern production values, yet retaining the spirit of Julia’s original approach. We've made it feel like she's right there with you, explaining things in her famously clear and encouraging style. Interactive Recipe Format: Each recipe is broken down into manageable steps. You can tap through the instructions, see close-up shots of key techniques, and even adjust serving sizes. No more messy cookbooks! Plus, you can mark off steps as you complete them, making it easy to keep track of your progress. Technique Deep Dives: Beyond the recipes, the product includes dedicated sections on essential French cooking techniques – from knife skills to making sauces to perfectly roasting a chicken. These aren’t just demonstrations; they explain why things work, helping you understand the principles behind the cooking. We break down complex processes into easy-to-understand segments. Ingredient Glossary & Substitution Guide: Ever get stuck on a French ingredient you can’t find? The built-in glossary explains everything, and the substitution guide offers alternatives if you’re having trouble sourcing something specific. We want to remove all the barriers to getting in the kitchen. Progress Tracking & Customization: The platform lets you track your cooking progress, save your favorite recipes, and create custom meal plans. You can also adjust the difficulty level to match your skills. It’s a personalized learning experience. Community Features (Coming Soon): ACTBLUE plans to add community features in the coming months, allowing users to share their creations, ask questions, and connect with other French cooking enthusiasts. We envision a vibrant online community where people can inspire each other. Why ACTBLUE? The Technology Behind the Taste ACTBLUE LLC isn’t a traditional cookbook publisher.
