Dear Julia. No one like her, before or since.

[@videoman10]

You can tell how excited and enthusiastic Julia was to cook and teach at the same time. She was an original and may she rest in peace and glory!

[@videox222ify]

I do not drink alcohol but I find her discussion on wine fascinating

[@richardengelhardt582]

Throughout the 1950s, my mother made a beef roast with potatoes and carrots, just like this, for Sunday family dinners with our grandparents, aunt and uncle. Every Sunday. Beef roast was our family favorite, alternating with pork roast with crackling, roast turkey, or baked ham. Roast pheasant during hunting season. Made just like this exactly.

Wonderful memories

[@barbarabrantley4779]

She must have been a fabulous cook. How did she learn to cook so well

[@elizabethhowe2110]

Love how she explains keeping and serving red wines.

[@jerrycratsenberg989]

I am a cook and I find Julia's presentations deliciously comical. I seriously wonder who she thought her audience was. I currently live in rural Georgia, USA and the local "wine merchant" offers few wines that do not have screw on tops. Still, Julia has to be respected as one who attempted to elevate American cuisine to a level beyond it natural mediocrity and lack of adventure.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Q: what's the difference between a cork and a screw top? A: a piece of ass. You're welcome.

[@melissalambert7615]

Back in the 1960/1970s in MA you could still get good French and Spanish wines. Even into the 1980s. And carefully letting the wine rest made all the difference. Now, I'm on the West Coast of Oregon. We have some nice wines, but they have no long life. Enjoy within 2-3 years. Still on a lovely summer day I am happy with a screw top bottle of chilled rose.

Loved seeing Paul on this.

[@crespoopserc]

The Queen of all chefs!

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

"Remember, love's labor was never lost in the kitchen!" You've got to love her delivery of that line. And her transformation of those green beans displayed on the board at the beginning into peas by serving time is a feat of culinary prestidigitation lost to her acolytes, since she didn't share the incantation. Pity.

[@jakematic]

I may be remembering poorly, but as I recall that was the episode she dumped the pot of greenbeans and they stopped tape.... costing HUNDREDS

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

I wondered what happened. I, of course, immediately thought of sorcery rather than mishap. I mean, it's Julia!

[@nathanjustus6659]

She has other videos on doing vegetables that show how she does it.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

GOOD G O D That all looks incredibly delicious!!!!

[@jakematic]

Cook it! I've done most of her dishes. She taught me and launched my career.

[@donaldwarriner1640]

Always wise and thoughtful words to live by.

How Otis you can't drink alcohol for two or three years

[@MIKECNW]

I guess those people were the show's crew?

[@fishwax6371]

Paul Child is to Julia's right, and the woman facing the camera is probably Marian Morash. Russell Morash, director, may be between Julia and the one I think is Marian.

[@mausfledermaus7811]

@@fishwax6371, isn‘t Paul pouring the wine?

[@elainecrawford6891]

Paul is sitting at the opposite end of the table from Julia, and, yes, is the gentleman pouring the wine.

Just learned Russ Morash died today.

[@MaryHemmings]

Um…. She shows where the loin comes from her own body…. Yet, I learned something.

[@garyfurr1467]

Why do you have to have wine with everything. Are you a wino

[@Lizzy514]

Wash the potato. My only objection is her affected speech

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Her speech was her speech. Not done for show. Or the show. You'd never catch her saying her and me went to the store, etc, because educated Americans were taught proper English.

[@fishwax6371]

@@nomadmarauder-dw9re True, except for a few typical West Coast errors, such as using adverbs with verbs of the senses (example: If you burn the butter, the dish won't taste very "well")

[@midwestkatie4]

@@fishwax6371If this were a show about grammar and speech, I may have worried about it. But it is a showcase for Julia’s incredible talent in the kitchen. She is cooking, narrating, and watching the off-camera direction of the production team in a one-take, uncut shot. Pretty impressive. Seems snobbish to quibble about “well” versus “good”.
