In this video, I recreate Julia Child’s iconic Beef Bourguignon, first published in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961. More than just a recipe, this dish represents Julia Child’s lasting legacy and her role in bringing classic French cuisine into American homes.
I walk through the historical context of the dish, Julia Child’s influence on modern cooking, and why Beef Bourguignon became one of the most recognizable recipes of the 20th century. Then I cook the dish step by step and give my honest review of the final result. Enjoy!

a wonderful dish made iconic by a true legend!❤
I need to make this one, Donnie!! Looks delicious!!
Oh i thought it was more difficult to make than that
Growing up in 60s just about everything my mom made came from a box or a can. She drew the line at Spaghetti O's, Tang and TV dinners though.
Looks delicious! 👏🏼 solid recipe!
Your plating is spectacular
Random but does anyone remember Martin Yan? Yan Can Cook.
You chatting about her cooking show made me remember him for whatever reason 😆
Awesome show
This was an excellent video—a beautiful way to learn about an interesting lady and some delicious-looking food! Well done!
🎉🎉🎉
The way you explain it seems so simple. The way others talk about it makes it seem complicated, now I want to try it, Thank you
Didn't they make a movie about her?
Why 9.8 and not 10 out of 10?
4:35 I'm literally cooking this right now
