Bon Appetit! Julia premieres Memorial Day at 8 p.m. ET 

From the award-winning directors that brought you RBG, Julia covers the life of esteemed food personality Julia Child, author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and the first American celebrity chef. 

Child rose to national fame after her show The French Chef, which premiered in 1963, taught a generation of Americans about French cuisine. With her charming personality and willingness to make mistakes, she taught home cooks that TV dinners, spam and jello salads weren't their only options for accessible meals. Instead, she showcased how to make simple, technique-oriented recipes with fresh ingredients. 

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the show: 

Before each episode, the recipe covered would be prepared in various stages of completion. For example, if Child was preparing fish, they would have the uncooked fish, the partially cooked fish and the fully cooked fish prepared before filming. 

"She was the hardest working on the show. She would show up at 6 a.m. in the morning and start to work on the typewriter because she liked to take notes on everything she has done,” said world-renowned chef Daniel Boulud.

Child would prepare for each episode meticulously with several pages of notes outlining everything that needed to be done, but she wouldn't memorize anything.

"Julia was a master at getting everything together and then just letting it roll," said The French Chef floor manager Alex Pirie. "She could ad-lib endlessly."

Throughout the shoots, the crew would hold up signs for Julia instructing her when to speed up or slow down or when to mop her brow because she was getting too sweaty. The kitchen could get hot!

Her husband, Paul Child, was a huge supporter of her career and would often help out on set when he had the time. 

"He’d be sharpening a knife or he would be scrubbing some residue off of the bottom of an omelet pan. He was a big, big help," described the show's producer Russ Morash. 

You won't want to miss the premiere of Julia on Monday, May 30, at 8 p.m. ET only on CNN.

Take a tour of Ghana with Carlton McCoy

Last Sunday on Nomad, Carlton McCoy ventured back to Africa for only the second time in his life and was immediately swept up in the fast-paced and vibrant Ghanian culture.

The scents and flavors of Ghana reminded him of his own youth in the American South, and he was grateful for an opportunity, as a member of the African diaspora, to connect to his ancestral roots. Ghana, with its thriving economy, delicious food and vibrant art scene, was the perfect place to reconnect.

Here's McCoy's guide for an authentic Ghanian experience:
