God she looks like she had incredible strength. Like my grandmother. She was 5ft6 and could have an oak tree down with an axe in about half an hour
I call it food surgery. As a line cook I have preformed many surgeries and have lost very few dishes 😊
happy little accidents i say if they don’t like it they don’t have to eat it
she was a champ!
Julia is so perfectly imperfect
I can never watch her without thinking of the SNL skit!
Holy shit that woman has strong arms and hands
Those pans are heavy af
Her, Bob Ross, and Fred Rogers making a show together
The video of her on Letterman is an all time great cooking video. The hot plate is broken, so she changes her hamburger to beef tartare. 😂 Letterman was such a good sport and ate it! 😂
Wow. Nice version of ramsey
I can only imagine miss child and Bob Ross are bonding up in heaven:) they were both so similar and so incredibly talented
You have to adapt in the kitchen. You just have to
been on the wine before cooking
What an awesome woman
Happy little accidents
This reminds me of my husband and I hosting a couple for dinner, and I made a baked Brie for the first time inside of a puff pastry. I cut into WAY too soon, and the brie came oozing out like lava 😂 I was like oh well, still tastes good. Just looks terrible.
Perspective.
Today you push the idea of embarrassment from failure.
When this was filmed, she did this on purpose to teach . She could have easily edited out the issue and presented a perfect result instead but this is about education. Failures aren't embarrassing. They are the stepping stones to success and opportunities to not only learn how to do something the textbook way, but how to troubleshoot and fix issues as you go.
Perspective.
Being frightened of failure means people won't try as hard. They become quitters because that's easy and comfortable.
Don't ever assume these old educational videos are made with the same mentality that we as a society have today. That is not the case. Yes embarrassment of failure existed then but the way it was usually handled was totally different. The goal was not comfort or discomfort, it was to gain a skill through trial, error and perseverance.
Awesome!
Me, pretending my life is going to plan.
It’s giving… happy accidents 🥰
Also, bring back tv cooking shows where people cook for real and make mistakes.
She was a real trail blazer for the trans community. So hard to pass as female back then without hormone therapy but she went ahead and lived as a woman anyways. So strong.
I so believe she was a trans who didn’t say as the world was so unforgiving but just her demeanor and the way she turned things around made me felt like she was inspired within her own transition.. it’s just the voice always features and no shame as she continues to inspire
Im ngl. I stay watching nostalgic videos and movies. It just puts me in a really happy place. ❤
Tarte Tatin. And Julia wasn’t joking; it is not caramélisé enough.
Back then the show wasn't edited like it is today
I miss her
Thats my mom
I miss her! She was the 1970s version of Martha Stewart, except way more down to earth, in my opinion.
That was a true cooking show. Shit goes wrong in the real world. Embrace it.
Government agent.
Those who came after her were shit and trash – US special agencies are a joke, all their accomplishments revolve around low-level, subtarded methods like poison, killing or otherwise abusing the intended purpose of things.
I wish tv chefs today would do the same. It would be more relatable.
So calm and collected. Just like bob ross was. Both took us on journeys. One was an adventure one was cooking learning
I also agree the best way for people to learn is to watch when the people who have already learned still mess up and not only how they handle it but the demeanor in handling it as well
I like how she actually pronounces the word caramalise
Looks like a good spatula.
Tarte Tatin, made it once, it didn't turn out well but mine was cooked. 😂
