New declassified files have revealed that famed chef and author, Julia Child, was once a spy for the United States while living abroad.

It was already known that Child had worked in an administrative capacity for the Office of Strategic Services, the less evil precursor to the CIA. And anyone who knew her biography had to wonder about her long career at various U.S. stations abroad. And about that recipe for “poached secrets.”

We are still waiting to find out where Child did her undercover spy work. It most likely too place in either Sri Lanka, China or France.

But it’s interesting to get confirmation, and to learn that Child forthrightly informed the spooks on her application that her weakness was that she was “impulsive,” because she quit a department store job once. It’s not clear where Child did her spywork — she was stationed in Sri Lanka and China before moving to France, where she was trained as a chef.

What’s next? That Mister Rogers was a secret cold war assassin?
