In this video, I recreate Julia Childβs iconic Beef Bourguignon, first published in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961. More than just a recipe, this dish represents Julia Childβs lasting legacy and her role in bringing classic French cuisine into American homes.
I walk through the historical context of the dish, Julia Childβs 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!β€
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! ππΌ 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 π
Awesome show
This was an excellent videoβa 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
