No one will ever see this, but I have recently discovered Julia’s early PBS shows and AND I AM LEARNING SO MUCH! She was truly remarkable. I am a devoted cook and baker and these ancient videos are jaw-dropping.

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

I see it, and I agree. How she drops great ideas as throwaways is amazing.

[@kimsmith524]

I used to watch her when I was a kid-back then there were very few cooks on TV. She inspired my interest in cooking. If you ever get a chance to go to the Smithsonian in Wash DC, Julia Child’s TV kitchen is on display.

[@lmm1586]

Me too! I’m learning so much from Julia. I just found this channel and I’m addicted ! 😅

[@patriciabeetschen1329]

She was so down to earth and had no problem showing mistakes and how to fix or avoid them…she was unique and loved by many! I always learn a lot rewatching her shows. Thank goodness they have been filmed and saved for generations to watch!

[@JaneDoe6000]

I adore her explanation of the "public" and "private" sides of a crepe!!

[@JaneDoe6000]

@@NubsWithGuns uhm, can you run that by me one more time?

[@keeeeeek]

@@NubsWithGuns maybe you're slow? she is always perfectly understandable to the rest of us.

[@campaug]

I wasn’t ready for the hard “CRAPES”. You woke me up Jules.

[@TeOm97]

im chalking it up to an audio glitch for the time period, but the amount of force behind the English pronunciation of crepes is hysterical

[@TheChefmike66]

I think this show might have a lot to do with why I'm a chef. I watched it when I was around 8-10 years old with my mom.

[@louisean2751]

I love Julia Child, she was delicate, elegant, and wonderfully delivered the methods of cooking. A scientist, a litterateur and pioneer. She liberalised the food. Thank you! I love your both private and public sides.

[@valor101arise]

I don't know that I would pair the word delicate and Julia Child together, but to each his own

[@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona]

@@valor101arise why wouldn’t you?

[@joebrinson5040]

Also a courageous young women who served in the OSS abroad during WW2.

[@mastochabou62]

As a french, it s the first time i see water in the batter. I advise to put only milk instead of water, as water dilute the flavor. Some put a proportion of beer

[@valor101arise]

Love her LOVE for food. I relate. Never was able to eat like a bird

[@anonimochenta4439]

I was born in 1980's so i missed the show and all about Jukia Child. I came to learn about Julia when the movie Julia & Julia came out and loved it. It is so nice to be able to see the real Julia. Thank you for sharing the videos. I can now understand the references peopke of that time make when refering to Julia and how wonderful she was ❤

[@MykelObvious]

So in 1982 I was 12 years old and watched this series on PBS reruns. Julia is the whole reason I love to cook to this day!!

[@The1andOnlyMz.knwitall]

I love Julia! I was a child watching g on pbs in NY! I love to cook and it is because of you Julia and my mum and Granny! Graceful, remind, and amazing ! Thank you Julia

[@carlosyamara]

Made these last night from her recipe in, the classic, Mastering The Art of French Cooking which is this exact recipe. They turned out incredible! Thank you, Julia!

[@micaelatucker6626]

My mouth was watering, pretty much during the entire video. Those crepes sound delicious!❤

[@teresasanchezalguacil9148]

Soy española y me encanta los programas porque son los originales, pero no sé inglés. Podrían tener la alternativa de traducción en español. 🙂

[@akrossmann1631]

Love you Julia!

[@achildofthelight4725]

2:03 Nice to see how far a simple recipe has become so complicated, let alone the fear of words or use of oils

[@samsicle9308]

she sounds like ms puff 💪💪💪💪💪

[@lizweiss4599]

7:09

[@ryansmith4494]

Haha she definitely does. Never thought of her voice like that.

[@mizzprettyhuston]

3tbsp of cornstarch?? 🤯 no wonder she had to keep thinning the sauce 😂

[@briarrose29]

We used to have Safeway stores in every small town. It’s odd to think how none are around anymore.

[@rah62]

It must depend on where one lives. We have many here.

[@rosechardonnay5351]

Here in California we have tons of them still. They're common in the western states.

[@HunterDriguez]

Californian here. We’re swimming in Safeway’s 😂. If you go to SoCal they might be called Vons.

[@biancalawrence3178]

Love the way she thinks that everyone has leftover lobster in the refrigerator?? We live in different times. Love her sauce for it though.

[@mikehill3728]

I think she was being sarastic.

[@susanjerrell9220]

In her artichoke video she tells of how expensive they've gotten. A large one would cost as much as 30 cents. Haha!!

[@m.theresa1385]

Way back when I used to make Crepes Suzette as a date treat. Maybe it’s time to make them again

[@realinohio]

When the United States was so isolated that they didn't even know how to cook proper meal. Julia was amazing

[@theUrbanJoe]

I would rename the lobster crêpes “Frenchiladas” 😆 No doubt they are scrumptious!

[@achildofthelight4725]

11:02 just let me double check 😂

[@davidduma7615]

Can you imagine that intro today...the French CHEFF

[@rebeccamiller2312]

❤❤❤

[@lauracapicchioni1471]

Che meraviglia il bianco e nero

[@kd1s]

I love crepes

[@Charlesb88]

If you fill them with Smuckers, then you have a crepe jelly. 😁

[@mkehammond7277]

Black and white filming did not do this show justice.

[@user-dk5vj2br1o]

Damn wish this was in colour so it could be so much easier to keep up with uagh!!still luv julia!

[@ColinCropley]

you really can use any leftovers you can think of like Ham, Chicken, Fish or anything.

[@Wagonrider89]

She wasn’t kidding when she complained about not trusting people around your nonstick pans. I have my own pans no one is allowed to use but mein my kitchen. Contrast with my mother who used to scrape the crap out of her non stick pans with metal spatulas. Yay cancer, thanks mom.

[@mizzprettyhuston]

Man Julia would have loved a blendjet blender 😁

[@susanjerrell9220]

I'll never say "crape" again. 😅 It's "crep" from now on!

[@amiblueful]

I am amused that they put a superfluous washer and dryer on the set in the early days. For authenticity?

[@danielpacker9603]

The first 2 seasons were filmed in her home kitchen that they brought in the island she cooks at so those are probably her washer and dryer. Was more common in the old days. LoL Ps...that also explains the cooktop behind her.

[@amiblueful]

@@danielpacker9603 They didn't start filming in her own kitchen until the '90s, and they had to make it filming-friendly. You can tell it's a set by how far up the walls extend beyond the tops of the cabinets. Also, notice the echo when she walks from the "kitchen" to the "dining room." They may have tried to replicate the ambiance of her kitchen, but it was a set. That's my understanding, anyway.

[@danielpacker9603]

@amiblueful ok maybe so. My information came from her old neighbor so she should haven known bit on the other hand she was older then so maybe her memory isn't correct.

[@amiblueful]

@@danielpacker9603 I love doing internet research, so I looked it up again after seeing your comment. Unfortunately, I can't include a link because YT keeps deleting the comment if I do. (Too much clickbait when links are included, I think.) But, the long and short is that they filmed in her own kitchen between 1994 and 2001. She donated it to the Smithsonian and there are pictures online. Always nice to learn something new about Julia!

[@danielpacker9603]

@amiblueful thanks ! I was young when my moms friend relayed the story from the past. Plus she was an older lady so maybe was off on the time line. They were neighbors for years so that probably explains it. Thanks for doing the research for me. Sorta let's the wind out if the sails of a child hood memory but only a little. LoL

[@garyfurr1467]

Then open the trash can and throw it ay

[@nomadwomansatter8345]

Well all Russian meal is French meal actually

[@gensgreenmagic6871]

Sure, doesn't everybody have leftover lobster in their fridge? 🙄

[@louiscyphre2267]

I know you just want to act like a dick, even Julia said she didn’t have any lobster on hand.

[@amisenho13]

If you don’t own your own lobster farm, store-bought is ok

[@shanecorning5222]

This is Blasphemy. Coming from a Swedish Chef.

[@sophianaqvi3697]

Meryl streep played her perfectly in the movie

[@philfaulisi4864]

Should have run that lobster through a strainer. Half the juice splashed out by using a spoon. Great recipes, but sloppy technique

[@juliehobbs7938]

One take, no edits, amazing food and wonderfully intertwining. How would could color make that better, exactly, besides just being more colorful😃.Julia is a classic.
