I would watch Julia with my Nana in the 70's and 80's. I remember Nana making crepe suzette and her making it flame. I miss her very much she taught me a lot about cooking and baking.

[@YT4Me57]

Julia certainly loved those newfangled "no stickum" pans. 😂

[@ericawentz2734]

It’s wonderful to see the Original at work! She’s amazing!

[@Rotary_Phone]

Make sure you spread the orange cream mixture on the "Non Public" side of the Crepes! Ha Ha!

[@tonyboloni64]

The surprised Oooo! when the beaters snagged the spatula.

[@craft-o-matic399]

These might give you a hangover or, at the very least, a massive sugar high, but the taste and presentation would in my opinion, be absolutely worth it! Thank you Julia Child! You are a national treasure!!!

[@eleanorroberts1886]

Loved it when she stuck the spatula in the beaters!! She readily admitted that was a mistake

[@markhernandez3418]

😂

[@rolltidewonka9560]

She has this beautiful way of being so marvelously well traveled and attentive to details in a way that Is truly Julia Child. There is no other even close.

[@patrickharris5903]

Pretty wonderful; Julia in her prime. Thanks for these videos.

[@lenkishel5173]

I've been looking for this video for a while, thanks for posting! I love when she puts the spatula in the mixer while it's on and it goes flying.

[@lhzook]

She was using a small bowl. She was probably used to using a larger one. We’ve all done that! She was so human!

[@kellyspann9845]

Plus she had a small fire under her pan and was trying to put it out with a spatula.

[@gregorykayne6054]

A living (when recorded) work of art is never flawless i.e. Lucille Ball, Etta James, Dick Van Dyke, Jacques Pepin, Ray Charles and Jackie Gleason. She was an expert and immortal genius.

[@Pierre-LucTremblay]

In her DVD the way to cook, she spills her fish cooking liquid when she tries to pour it in another casserole. So funny

[@ianwattsOfficial]

RIP/VIP 🌹🧸🌺💐 thankyou Julia for all your wonderful recipes

[@maryklein7131]

I don’t know about the rest of you…I have been laughing all through this…Bon Appetite

[@deenak79]

Soooooooooo much beloved butter in the 3rd crepe!!!!! ❤

[@robsemail]

Now THIS is something would be worth the effort to colorize.

[@paulbartlett3200]

Absolutely agree, EVERY: one of the B&W series worthy: a living museum

[@rah62]

Absolutely not! It would be like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa. This is the way it was shot; this is the way it should remain.

[@robsemail]

@@rah62 If you can’t tell the difference in a work of art like the Mona Lisa and a cooking show, you need therapy.

[@rah62]

@@robsemail I guess you were never taught how to disagree without being disagreeable? You win "ignore" for your gratuitous insult. Shame on you.

[@gregorykayne6054]

Both would be good. I think for many, the b/w keeps a cooking show clear, focused and not the victim of game show presentation.

[@paolafaoro5394]

😋 an old fashioned recipe🥞

[@Rotary_Phone]

Man those things look so good! Wish I had some.....Crepes, and Orange butter filling...That sounds so good to me.

[@jflsdknf]

This recipe is supposed to be amazing. You should give it a try

[@squirrellydan4987]

I don't always rub my lumps but when I do it's over oranges!

Bone Apple Tee Julia! Miss you!!

The good old 1960's non stick pans, hmmm.

[@rah62]

Are the dark corners for real (was the series shot that way) or are they just an affectation overlaid by PBS to make people think they're watching an old TV?

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Remember, this was shot in 1963 for the first season and it was caused by the cameras in use at the time as this was shot live to tape, 2 inch quad tape at that (in glorious B&W). At that time, WGBH was part of NET (National Educational Television) that later became PBS as we know today. They would eventually replace these cameras in I think 1964 and the cut off corners disappear if not mistaken. WGBH then likely had limited funds to have the latest equipment and had to make do with what they had at that time.

[@chouseification]

@@johnhpalmer6098 is right - it's not actually "corners", it's actually a circular tube in the camera that we're seeing here. Since a lot of TVs of that era had big ugly rounded corners cutting into the frame, you tended to not notice this sort of error.

[@gregorykayne6054]

Real. That how video recorded-TV looked in the early to mid-1960's. You'll see the same effect on many of President Kennedy's press conferences (1961-1963).

[@gregorykayne6054]

@JohnPalmer6098 • Dad's 1950 Air King TV had a screen that didn't show corners. We were still using it as a second TV in 1963.

[@YT4Me57]

​@@chouseification i was definitely around at that time, watching cartoons and Julia Child on a black and white television in the living room. Never noticed any corners 😂

[@michaelcornett444]

Her mistake with the spatula makes you feel better when YOU make a mistake in the kitchen. If Julia can do it....then maybe you're not such an idiot after all....

[@annm4833]

Exactly! 😊👍

Or just rub a micro plane over and get the zest off that way

[@kimberlyshaw5778]

Did she put a crepe filled with whipped butter in the oven? I don’t get it…wouldn’t that just make a greasy pancake?

[@mariairace917]

Ps French think they are the best and the food in Europe is grand!! Every country had a creppete with a different name!!! My mother has been making crepes forever!! She is a Spaniard!!! We call them minuelods( bad spelling)

[@dpb8780]

Wait no yeast in her crepes? Then they are not the real ones!

[@opwave79]

These are crepes, not blinis.

[@dpb8780]

[@dpb8780]

@@opwave79 The French basically stole and butchered the recipe from Belgians like they did with fries!

[@epttvyoutube4354]

@@dpb8780 it’s still a nice series, no matter how the recipe was "butchered". She was trying to introduce some French cuisine to the American middle class and she did that with an amazing dedication and passion, so no matter if there’s yeast or not, no matter if the Belgians or the French made the recipe, she wanted to have people enjoy cooking something different.
