I always have the best time watching her.
I remember as a child being plopped down in front of the television and she was my favorite comedian.
As a kid, I didn’t realize she was serious.
All these years later, she is still teaching me.
RIP, Gentle Lady
💕☮️💕
I just want to point out this lady is using a silicone spatula well before most people I knew were using them. She also has an automatic dispensing cellophane machine?! She must be living in the future
Oh julia!!! I love and miss you so much!😊❤
What a wonderfully chaotic woman!
this is fantastic😂
I learned a lot from Julia, I love this recipe as well.
Such dignity. Notice how crass and crude people are now? Not this woman.
27:38 "once in a while you'll get a rather queer looking loaf" is wild work 😮
Where’s the part where she says LIKE and RING THE BELL?
She was obviously furious and passively aggressively digging at production from the start and throughout: it takes time, don't let anyone rush you, it needs to go slow etc. etc. SORRY Julia, you are not the one paying people to stand around for hours and hours for your dough to "take time".
Love Julia❤
this must have been a proud moment for Julia as she and her time worked tirelessly to develop a perfect baguette recipe.
I grew up watching this show. Visited her kitchen exhibit at the Smithsonian many years ago. She was an American treasure!
Child totally butchered this episode.
this makes me so happy. I remember watching her as a child. Thank you so much for sharing/hosting this.
Madame you are not a French Chef
Bravo! I'm making bread right now. Sourdough and it's incredibly good. RIP Miss Julia!❤ Peter and Mom in Florida
'Heaven 17'…lolol….
LOL! She left most of the dough in the mixing bowl!
Though she does her darndest to make French cooking accessible to regular Americans, Julia shows us here how the making of baguettes requires skill, intuition, and a lot of practice.
And still there remains an elusive intangible: French flour. The good news: genuine French flour is available reasonably priced from Amazon and other vendors.
To transfer her technique to my conventional oven, I use a pizza stone instead of tiles, and on the bottom rack a cookie sheet containing hot water.
