These two always had such a charming chemistry together. You can tell they were true friends.

"Tastes like bamboo!" She kills me!

[@cathykrueger4899]

We now have three generations of Julia Child watchers. The addition of Jaques Pepin is frosting on the cake. The meal prepared in this video would have to be my very favorite of all time. I grew up a town away from where Jacques Pepin lives so I’m a lobster lover. The soufflé makes me want to run into the kitchen right now and make one. Together these two define inspiration. It’s a gift.

[@Isabella-nd3rq]

I love them together! What I love about watching these Julia Child videos is that she’s really TEACHING you how to cook. It’s not just a show off display like most of these other cooking shows are now. She is a gifted teacher who uses real ingredients that normal people have access to!

This made me cry happy tears.. I use to watch these with my mom back in the early 2000's on tv. Thank you for bringing those memories back with this episode.

[@Darscm]

I, like the last commenter, have watched, especially Julia, for 60 years. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with her. It never gets old. Not even the reruns.

[@annehajdu8654]

Julia Child, a natural teacher.

[@undertaker666dead]

I love watching Jacques Pépin and Julia Child cook together

[@rustybearden1800]

I remember watching this as a young teenager, thrilled with the chance to watch two very talented chefs create such classic dishes, all the while peppered with an easy, friendly banter and little nuggets of technique and presentation. It was a world away from my humble surroundings growing up in the 60's and 70's in suburban America. This post evokes dreams of nostalgia and comfort and wonder - a window into a world that seemed far away. I later became a professional chef and I credit these two (especially Jacque) as my inspiration to guide me to bigger and better things. It's like playing a piece of music that you love and cherish but haven't heard for a awhile - a throb of emotion builds on your throat, your eyes tear up for a moment and then you grin as they congratulate each other with a clink of glasses and a toast - "Bon appetit!" Magical!

[@sheristewart3940]

Thank you for sharing your interesting journey to chef-hood.

[@hackbritton3233]

so glad you were able to do what you enjoyed.

[@jennyt7612]

Rusty, it was so nice to read your memories of growing up admiring Jacques & his expertise, & you going on to become a chef . I like your comparing the loved piece of music & the emotions of the memories of youth. Actually I also grew up in 60's & 70's suburban America by proxy - my sisters & I watched a great deal of American television growing up in that time but it really was a world away (as you said) in Australia. I finally saw the United States a few years ago & loved it, it was exciting but seemed so familiar. Best wishes from Sydney Australia

[@rustybearden1800]

You can tell he respect julia. Julia is always honest. Just love her. I always enjoyed seeing them work together. I bet he has a lot of stories as well as memories. Well done. Some of the early shows on PBS was the Best.👍. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee.✌️🕯️💓🖖🌻🦋🙂👋👣.

[@RataStuey]

Ok… I have never ever seen Julia Childs before. This was my first introduction to her. Wow. She’s something.

[@glamdolly30]

She was wonderful - a glorious one-off! Jacques is very special too. So glad they recorded TV shows together, their friendship is a joy to see.

[@GeoffJensen]

@17:00 exactly, you see Jacques lean in and observe, as you would see a student lean in and learn from their teacher. We've seen that expression a million times before: someone is learning, eager to absorb knowledge. Except this isn't just any student; this is world-renowned chef, Jacques Pépin. And who else but Julia Child herself could BE the teacher? Wonderful image. Very moving.

[@Lughnerson]

Jacques is SO relaxed with his techniques and tools. That is the mark of a master. But Julia is the kitchen Queen!

[@baritonebynight]

They were both masters of their craft but they differed....Julia was the American but she was more classically French while Jacques who is French....was more Americanized as he worked in American restaurants (most notably Howard Johnsons of all places).

[@nancybyrd2221]

My first experience with Ms Julia was the series 'The French Chef' in 1963. I was 10 years old and completely mesmerized! She opened my heart and eyes to the adventure of food and cooking that continues all these many years later. You inspired many, Ms Julia. You will forever be in my heart.

[@angiejenkins520]

I was the same way! Her coq au vin was breathtaking to me. I realized that this how chicken should be cooked and I have been 17:11 trying to emulate her style ever since. Miss her dearly. ❤

[@alwignot3584]

I used Julia’s coq au vin recipe for my first try at gourmet cooking and it was a big hit so I was called upon to make it numerous times after that,and her and Jacques helpful advice with other techniques greatly improved future meals

[@qjohn852]

As a child this was the first cooking show I remember watching. PBS was my favorite channel growing up and this show opened my eyes to the culinary world.

[@reneemoreno8030]

I watched these 2 together since I was a child over 6 decades ago. Back then there were not many celeb chefs. Galloping Gourmet -Graham Kerr and Yan Can Cook but it was a natural gift to cook at such a young age. I love it

[@Lughnerson]

No one else we'd need to watch.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

you're blurring a lot of different decades - you okay?

[@rhondaabugg305]

I remember watching Julia, Jacques, Graham Kerr, Yan & the cook from Louisiana. I loved watching their shows, but didn't cook and wasn't in love with food either. Here I am now and I love to cook and eat. I actually remembered some of their technique and creations. I loved watching this again after so many years.

[@obtuseangler768]

Allegedly I was an angel if my mom put Yan Can Cook on our 13" tv...we were talking about him this last Oct, she was in town and we were laughing at the book when I pulled it out.

I worked in the kitchens of a few nice dinner houses when I was in high school and college in the late 70’s and early 80’s and we practiced uncompromising sanitary practices including clean hands. It’s nice to see an old video where chefs cooked with their hands sans gloves.

[@David-qd3ff]

I love them both. My mom and I used to watch them cook and laugh our asses off. Wonderful memories.

[@FLGurl]

I am so grateful to see this channel here. The older recipes are a tradition which seems lost in the days of now (2023). Preference is always given to home cooking for me and these two together never disappoint. Thank you!

I completely forgot about her….. I used to watch her and pepin so much as a kid on pbs at my grandmothers ranch. Damn do I miss that life. F what the USA is now.

[@benbelzer8303]

I love how they both wear their aprons! Nowadays I think too many celebrity chefs are too casual in their attire. It makes sense to wear an apron if you're hosting a COOKING show. 😊

[@melissalambert7615]

They are both detailed and not too fussy at the same time. Very enjoyable!

[@luthersteaching5228]

I would love for someone who knows far more about soufflés than myself to please correct me if I am wrong. I thought that the soufflé fell badly and it jiggled, looking heavy and too wet, as though it was under cooked. Am I wrong?

[@Marcel_Audubon]

how about TWO people who know far more about soufflés than yourself? Their names are Jacques Pépin and Julia Child.

[@glamdolly30]

That's a fair observation, though obviously the proof of the pudding is in the eating!

[@augustschweigeryt559]

Must've been a slow, painful death for the lobsters being steamed.

[@rociotorres7772]

You took the words right out of my mouth

[@HS22181]

Okay, let’s retitle the dish Tortured Lobster Soufflé à l’Améicaine.

[@joshuarosen465]

I just boiled five lobsters tonight. They die almost immediately. Besides lobsters are basically just bugs, they don't have brains. It's silly to anthropomorphize them. You wouldn't do this to a mammal or a bird, they have brains so you kill them humanely. But shellfish and crustacean can just be put into boiling water or a steamer.

[@IceThatJaw]

I'm sure all the animals you eat have have honorable deaths.

[@glamdolly30]

Yes it troubled me to see live, sentient beings crammed together like that and steamed - at least boiled a a fast plunge into water is a sudden death. I've never seen lobster steamed, it presumably isn't common because of the cruelty.

[@sherry5136]

[@sickheadache9903]

Bamboo Water! LOL..Julia and Jack..Julia Always called him..Jack! 😜 When they did their last shows, The President of Land O Lakers and Sponsor of this show was at Julia’s house, where they always filmed..Julia announced on the taping of this show ..I’m going to use Lard..and Not the Sponsor of the show..Land O Lakes Butter! Jack asked Julia are you sure..Yes Julia responded and proceeded to make pie dough? Out of lard …then another show..Jack and Julia were making a pressed sandwich..when finished..Jack Had the sponsor of the show in his hand I believe ..A Type of Red Wine…But Julia had placed Two Beers in the refrigerator and got them out and poured them up..and said..Beer is best for this sandwich! The owner of the winery was at Julia’s house also..Beer was Poured Up! Lol 👍😜🥰

[@sheristewart3940]

Although I truly enjoy Julia Child and absolutely adore Jacques Pepin, and the two working side by side, I was all set to learn how to make a lobster souffle, but I was taught to differentiate lobster sexes, steam whole lobsters, make two types of sauces for lobster, and make a cheese souffle. I wish they would have taught us what part of the lobster that shouldn't be eaten ~ I recall from biology lab that there is an organ inside the lobster's body that is poisonous, but I don't recall exactly what organ it is, and where in the lobster's cavity it's located.

[@rustybearden1800]

There is no part of a lobster that is poisonous

[@sheristewart3940]

@@rustybearden1800 well, sometimes we get taught things that aren't true. Forgive my ignorance and thank you for enlightening me. I don't think I'll try this this recipe, as I prefer melted butter with my lobster.

[@tinfoilpapercut3547]

If it's between your high school teacher and Julia Child - go with Julia!

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

I think your teacher was talking about the tomalley, which is a kind of gland in the lobster. It's the greenish part Jacques & Julia are happily preparing to eat. If you look it up online, there are arguments in favor of and against eating the tomalley. The State of Maine says not to eat the tomalley because it can accumulate environmental contaminants.

[@sheristewart3940]

@@LeesaDeAndrea I like your input. I love lobster, but I am not interested in eating contaminants! The tails and claws are sufficient for me. Furthermore, in my autumn years I have become lactose intolerant, therefore, my favorite, lobster bisque, is of the menu for me, but I still like to dip my lobster meat into melted butter, just have to dip a little ~ no dunks.
