  1. It's nice that these were aired years after the last episode was produced though the B&W ones weren't.

  2. 20:10 – I love that she talks about how eating the piece is what truly made the problem unfixable. It's such an automatic reaction when a small piece of something tasty (meringue, meat, cheese) breaks off, it goes directly into the chef's mouth. There's little you can do to prevent it from happening.

  3. I hope Julia's series " Julia Child & Company (1978) and Julia Child & More Company (1979) are uploaded at some point.

  4. I wonder if she realized that every single course in this meal has wine IN the food, and she serves wine WITH the food. Wine shouldn't be used THAT often.

  5. I have two pairs ripening. I’ve always wanted to see the technique for poaching them. My tip—use a melon baller to scoop out the core. I never knew you put corn starch in a meringues. It’s all the little tricks and the reason behind them that I love. And of course Julia herself. Her life is fascinating to read about. She was born unstoppable and is an inspiration to all of us.

  6. Love the champagne stopper from James Beard. I'm so thankful for parchment paper being widely available now; saving the steps of preparing the sheet pan and you can draw a template on the non-food side of the parchment of whatever shapes you need. I make individual meringue cups to serve home-made ice cream frequently so I also appreciate cream whippers.

  7. I love that she mentioned filberts. Julia very much took on the New England life. When the hazelnut craze started, I had no idea what they were. Finally figured out they were filberts, after saying OUT LOUD that the hazelnuts reminded me a lot of filberts. I should have just kept that thought in my head. 🙂
