  1. У неё интересная манера произношения. Говорит словно гнусаво, в нос.

  2. I was hopeful this would answer The Case of The Missing Carrots from her book. Mastering the Art of French Cooking. If you’re not aware the book has you cook the onions and mushrooms in the same pan as the beef, but never mentions them again. Some theorized it was just to flavor the pan. She uses a totally different process in this show. So I will use this process and make the recipe again!

  3. imagine how difficult it is when the image is only black and white and it is not easy for audience to enjoy the color of the food

  4. French cooking is crap and always will be. I’ll take Indian and Chinese cooking over that boring haute cuisine anyday. Bye 😘

  5. My dad doesn't seem to get why I enjoy Julia Child so much. He makes little jokes here and there like, "You have to watch a recipe from 30 years ago.. Oh no!" I know he is being funny. But half the reason I enjoy her so much, she feels warm, genuine, and knowledgeable. She'd have been a great person to look up to had I known of her sooner. I didn't grow up watching her as many of viewers did. I was born in 1995 and my immediate wants in the coming years weren't watching a woman teaching us to cook. Over the years, I loved watching Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, Rocket Power, and Lizzie McGuire. But I'm sure had I a bit more family in my immediate circle, one of my older siblings would've thrown her on. I personally didn't discover her until seeing the movie "Julie and Julia" which I fell absolutely in love with. It stands by as one of my favourite movies. I started to learn more of Julia from there. I just find her so admirable, inspiring, and accomplished. I hope to be something like her with time.

  6. My mom used to make this when I was a kid. I’m going to make this tomorrow night. I love her so much. So down to earth. I love watching modern cooking shows, but it always seems like they have a whole bunch of equipment that I either don’t have or can’t afford. Like substituting a pot lid with a pie plate. She’s amazing.

  7. My parents had lunch with Julia, in Rhode Island, 1968. Julia's guests had a mishap at the airport. Julia asked my parents to sit with her. They had steaks. My Mom said Julia was VERY polite and wanted to know everything about our family. My Mom glowed when she told the tale over the decades.
    Rest in peace, Mom and Dad and the lovely Julia.

  8. My compliments to the home chefs of the 60’s that managed to recreate these dishes without the luxury of being able to pause and rewind the video.

  9. I made this a few years ago following this old video. It came out fantastic. Highly recommended. Get a Burgundy to do this and save some to sip while you cook.

  10. "This is the part of the treasure of cooking, its called glaze. Now deglaze the coagulated juice with red wine." I heard the name Julia Child for many years but this is the first time Ive actually watched her. Lookin forward to more of her cooking. Keep rockin it steady Julia Child.

  11. I can tell she is a little rigid, it being the first episode of the series and yet, did a marvelous job getting her bearings. She's much more relaxed and smooth in the next episode, even when tipping over the brandy whilst cooking French Onion soup. She took it in stride. Truly inspiring and I love watching her. 🎉

  12. I remember trying to fix Beef Bourguigion in Home Economic class during Second year in Highschool. Didn't quite come out good as Julia Child's 😊😂😊😂😊

  13. Ive seen many recipes with carrot added. But here, she hasn't added carrots.😢glad I came the OG.

  14. Followed the recipe from the show exactly, and it was delicious. I missed adding bacon to it like I believe her printed recipe has….but it wasn't needed. The people I served it to said it was wonderful, and it made me really happy to tell them that they were eating Julia Child's exact recipe, straight from the show. I really appreciate having all of these episodes on youtube, I can rewind and pause and go back and watch techniques and perfect the recipe in real time. This is yet another treasure of Julia Child, and I hope it's one we can all enjoy for the rest of time for free.

  15. How refreshing that she doesn’t immediately start quacking about the Maillard reaction when she’s searing her beef. she probably had a pretty good idea about what searing beef involved in terms of the chemistry and so forth. In fact, she may very well have been primary in terms of discovering/introducing it to the cooking show industry.
