Dinner In A Pot | The French Chef Season 1 | Julia Child

[@victorkreitner754]

Anyone who can talk intelligently for a half hour and tie multiple meats at the same time in front of a live camera gets my respect. She was the trailblazer for anyone you see on the food network today.

[@lisareed5669]

And a French lesson to boot.

[@olysvenson8464]

I can remember watching her show. One of my favorites 👍

[@Imnotplayinganymore]

So much to love here. No script, no editing, just roll the camera and go! So refreshing compared to the slick shows of today. As so many have commented, I loved this show as a child and it has not lost any of its charm.

[@lady_bexy]

Exactly, no drama or shtick. Just about the food and techniques. Giving a chance to enjoy variety of wholesome foods that were easily accessible (and affordable) for the average family. 55+ years later we can still learn from the O.G. TV chef and it's fantastic! Back to basics and still relevant, enduring through all the extreme fusion 'fashion' trends in food of the last few decades. I love a good Julia marathon ❤️

[@MCF311]

I'm new to watching her original show and I'm OBSESSED! I adore her. This episode delighted me.

[@laurabutler9978]

I am watching again with my granddaughter!

[@juliehobbs7938]

I used to watch her as a kid. Mom worked two jobs. We were lucky to see her and to eat. I watched her on a tiny black and white with coat hanger rabbet ears. :)

[@AWriterWandering]

There was probably a script. With the style of filming, you would often rehearse the whole thing ahead of time. Similar to a play.

[@yarnexpress]

I'm making this today. Plan on chilling overnight & serving tomorrow. There are only 2 in our household & I'm 75 my husband is 82. Figure we can have it for 2 days. Then make up single serving meals in bento boxes & freeze. How lovely it will be to reach in the freezer for dinner on days too busy to cook. Also plan to freeze any extra cooking stock which means a great start for a vegetable soup. We're on a fixed income & the price breakdown is $40 for the meats, about $10 for the herbs & vegetation. For us, I'm looking at a minimum of 20 servings or $2.50 @ serving. Quite a bargain for a healthy meal. Probably less--depending on how much stock I have left over for soup.

[@kandycroft1961]

I can just imagine all these housewives in the 50's and 60's prepping to watch Julia. Sitting down with pen and paper in hand intently watching, thanking the Lord they learned shorthand in high school. I am rather grateful for reruns and being able to pause and rewatch these. I wouldn't be able to redo what she did without it.

[@msr1116]

The only woman I know who took shorthand in h.s. was my former office manager and she was born in the late 1950s. I am only a few years younger and it eventually became a secretarial school course, I don't remember if my secondary school even offered it anymore. Your mention of shorthand makes me curious how many other old timey skills became passe'.

[@loveydovey802]

shorthand!

[@MCF311]

She's often portrayed as a character, but watching these early episodes I'm struck by just how brilliant-but-normal she was. Magnifique.

[@jpbouffard]

I agree. The way she was portrayed by Meryl Streep was horrible, IMO. She was brilliant, sensible, funny, down to earth...not anything like the cackling, crazy person the movies showed.

[@kevinpaulin7690]

Anyone making negative comments needs to be reminded that Julia worked well into old age and lived to be 91.

[@anthonymatthews3698]

I had the pleasure of meeting her at the farmers market when I lived in Santa Barbara. She was in a chair and with her nurse but she was still a keen foodie.

[@la1163]

Aww the good old days when meat was very affordable. Julia made my weekends enjoyable. Remembering my momma try to duplicate her meals and my dad being very supportive of her masterpieces as he called them. Happy holidays my fellow Julia fans.🎄☃

[@jasonexploring]

Beautiful story

[@Consrignrant]

@Pickles0711 Nonsense. Meat, as with everything else, is cheaper now. A middle-class family in the 60s could afford a roast chicken perhaps once a month. Now you can get a half chicken with fries for 5 euros.

[@TychoKingdom]

@@Consrignrant Maybe where you live. We don't even use Euro and I don't know the exchange rate.

[@fatfurie]

@@TychoKingdom im assuming youre in a the US..i can 100 percent get a half a chicken and some fries for 5 dollars.. the euro is about the same right now..i just bought a whole chicken for 5 dollars the other day.. and theyre still 6 or 7 cooked.

[@MMCUSN]

I remember watching her program when I was growing up. I once asked my Mom if we could make a recipe on the show (I don't remember which one) she replied, "Only if Julia Child was in our kitchen". French cooking was not in her wheel house, Hispanic dishes was her passion. Her reply stuck with me though and now I can have Julia on video in my kitchen. 😁

[@MW-rq5uc]

I laughed so hard watching her drop things on the floor and just leave them there, or picking them up and throw them back in her pot. I would love to see that floor. And she tied all the meats in string then tied them to the handles “for easy removal”. And then she tied up every vegetable, spice bouquet, and anything else laying around. And then after she has used probably 12 - 15 containers, she takes one huge platter with everything in it to the table and says “All in one pot!” And she looks so pleased with her creation. Earlier in the show when she is tieing up every every thing she says so happily “Oh isn’t this fun!?” I just love her, she is one unique chef!! Thank you Julia for everything!

[@janemack8852]

When she's pulling out each string, I'm thinking it's like fishing! What a lively catch!

[@morley364]

Yeah, watching her pull out the veggies and raw meat from the same container, I could just hear my doctor mother screaming in the back of my head, haha. So amazing to see these old videos, I'm excited to try some of the simpler recipes for sure!

[@ccowley2740]

One mustn't forget those infamous kitchen shears. Those were large enough for any task! SNIP!!!

[@a123phi5]

@@morley364 Those veggies were going into the stew with the meat, for hours, so it made no difference if they touched before hand. Watching her handle the raw pork and chicken, and then simply wipe her hand on a dish towel otoh, was comical. Talk about Salmonella contamination...

This would be a good idea for a large family's dinner and all you need is the food, boiling pot, and serving tray. Just tell everybody, including the kids to dig in. No fryer grease, no fire, no oven...Couldn't be easier. Thanks Julia.

[@gloriahancock998]

[@knitterscheidt]

Julia always has a checklist of information in her head. I can tell when she pauses to make sure she's hit every item. I remember during her chicken fricassee episode her pause and she talked about drying off the meat before and not overcrowding the pan, really simple but important instructions especially to a new cook. She was also just a dear, humble and sweet person.

[@joannkelly7994]

Rest in Peace. Julia Child. Oh, the memories. I loved her. I would have loved to have seen her response to all of the cooking shows.

[@FLGurl]

This was the best cooking ever. I grew up around loads of family relatives, two aunts and ten uncles with their spouses. This brings back so many memories of how food and family was the priority at the time. We were happy just visiting and cooking together. Sharing recipes and helping each other all over the place. it was great times. This series of videos has brought back many great memories, and I am so grateful. Thank you! ❤

[@fatfurie]

i have memories like this by myself .. but by the time my brother way born and old enough to cook they didnt play her as much so i have great memories watching alton brown and good eats. both great shows on par with each other.

You can usually tell when she's running out of time at the end and she just throws stuff on the platter to get it into the dining room for the final presentation. I love watching this woman, absolutely adore her.

[@twicebittenthasme5545]

$0.89/lb for the beef...and that was extravagant at the time. I remember being sent to the butcher to buy meat and was given a dollar with the admonition of "do not lose that money"! I could go to stores and such at 6-8 years old and my parents didn't have any concerns about safety as neighbors looked out for each other. Simpler times. This was a great show when I was a child. Thanks for sharing!

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

My mom would send my sister and me, 9 and 6, to the grocery about 8 blocks away. We seemed to always buy "ground round." I always lived in fear that we were getting the wrong meat because I don't think they called hamburger that even in the 60's! Yes, simpler, safer times eh?

[@Phooie]

Undignified position for the chicken. Julia kill's me 😊

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

She mentioned beef at $0.89 a pound in 1962 when this was filmed.. 2022 cost is $8.75 a pound, the roast she uses is 6lbs, which totals $52.00. I'd pay it! That beef looks good!

[@jasonw4053]

Not quite. Your inflation calculation is correct, $.89 is roughly equal to $8.75 in 2022 dollars, but the average price of chuck roast in September 2022 is about $6.60 a pound, which means we're actually paying *less* per pound today, when adjusted for inflation, than Julia did in 1962! Today's price per pound for chuck would equate to $.67 a pound in 1962!

[@richardengelhardt582]

Ridiculous how inflation has run rampant in America in a generation. No wonder we are less well off than our parents! Thanks to greedy Wall Street Republicans.

[@KarenSchuessler]

[@oldasyouromens]

I love this dish but I do not love the mixed soup it creates. So I use beef only and it is a pot au feu, with maybe sausage or short rib if I have it. In Germany we have the soup with thin strips of crepe.

[@lapislazuli7876]

People have forgotten how to cook in this healthy way which these days would be called “keto”. All the good animal fats combined with vegetables (except for the carbs in the breadcrumb stuffing which you could leave out). I would probably just use chicken or beef and not the pork or sausages as it’s all too much using too many meats. But it’s a great one pot meal even for 1 person and you could eat this all week. I also love the simplicity of the presentation compared to the cooking shows today which are over-produced (I can’t stand Master Chef), over acted, over edited and overdone. Julia is a straight forward and easy to understand teacher. The cooks on Tv these days are so ridiculous many of them make me sick and their food is over-the-top. What Julia is cooking here is completely normal, traditional food that most people understand and would enjoy!

[@DJxLovey]

It’s fascinating to me that everything she uses in all of her shows is more natural and organic than anything we have in the USA in 2023. The freshness can’t compare to what we’ve come to expect. Even our organic foods.

Now I can at long last see the attraction of a boiled dinner, something which has always eluded me, although, being from New England too, like Julia Child, I have often see mention of or recipes for a "New England boiled dinner." Especially on historic menu, posted for example as wall decorations in the dining halls of Yale and Harvard. Strange that my family never cooked something like this when I was growing up, in spite of the fact that my grandmothers (one English, the other French), my mother and my uncle were all proficient chefs. Note no lamb, ham, or cabbage. Potatoes cooked separately. Served with a mild Dijon mustard and horseradish based sauce could be good.

He never shows, but Julia's husband Paul was always there, bringing things and taking used things away. 3. When I taste this in my imagination, I don't think it would be very good, especially with those giblets in it. 4.
