How did Julia Child criticize nouvelle cuisine?

Celebrity chef Julia Child was a prominent critic of nouvelle cuisine, viewing the movement as an affront to the logic and grandeur of traditional French haute cuisine.1

Child’s specific criticisms included:

• Under-cooking: She disliked the movement's tendency to serve barely cooked meat and vegetables, arguing that this approach failed to properly develop the essential taste of the ingredients.1
• Aggressive Promotion: She accused the movement's champions, Gault and Millau, of pushing the style so relentlessly that they were effectively browbeating restaurants that did not conform to the nouvelle cuisine ethos.1

While nouvelle cuisine sought to emphasize freshness and lightness by minimizing fats, sugars, and starches, Child remained a staunch defender of the classic techniques that defined French culinary tradition.21
