Julia Child did not get the respect she deserved until late in her life. She embarked on her own culinary discovery, a passion she shared with the world. I watched the "French Chef" as a child, was enthralled by the foods she created, as well as her hilarious mistakes. One of a kind, Julia was an inspiration to us all, showing we could create masterpieces of delightful foods in our own homes.

I had the joy of eating lunch at the mess hall every school day when I was 5 and 6 years old (when my dad was stationed in France). I adored a particular chicken meal, but I had no idea what it was. Later in life, I enjoyed watching Julia Child and I borrowed one of her books from the library. I cooked her rosemary lemon chicken recipe, and I recognized it (after nearly 40 years)...I was elated that I finally knew what the mess hall meal was! Talk about delicious!! ❤

Just made these burgers, they were fantastic. Far better than any steak within twice the price. Served with Mashed as the side, and rather than beef stock for the sauce I used good hard cider (real stuff, not carbonated sugar water). Figured if broth wasn’t around, Julia would approve of wine or such, and cider seemed right. Of course drank the rest while cooking, and I know she’d approve of that.

I just made this, the stuffed mushrooms, a side of broccoli.... separately...ok. A bit of each on the fork? Heaven. I had to finish my burgers in the oven. I unthinkingly used a nonstick pan and had no bits for sauce in that pan. But the baking sheet of burgers in the oven yielded bits. I was able to deglaze the hot sheet pan and pour the yield directly into a little skillet. I didn't even bother adding anything to it as it was just delicious as is. Really enjoyed this, and, really drove home how much time and effort you put into what you do- especially what we don't see- the shopping, the clean up. You deserve every penny you get! ❤

[@wolfman011000]

I am going to give this a try just as you made it and then i want to try it using the mushroom stuffing mixed in with the minced meat and then use 4" inch ring moulds to form the burgers. Thank you for sharing Julia's recipe, take care, God bless one and all.

[@cheryl71000]

Love the video going to try the burgers with the gravy. I'm not a great cook but can follow this thks

[@cmsbeth]

I subscribed the minute after watching you "lightly flouring" the burgers. lmao. Throwing the burger from hand to hand was polished precision. Loved it.

[@diannt9583]

Burgers need no flour.

Awesome job… you inspired me to actually buy her books to try myself… I’ve always had her in my mind like yeah can’t afford of make her dishes because they are too expensive and too hard… thanks

[@anthonycekic4509]

The irony is they aren't expensive at all. The key is to have pots for herbs and make things for ahead of time; it actually becomes cheaper than going to a restaurant. For example, when making beef dishes, save the bones and make a stock. Once the stock is made, then make soups and sauces.

[@DaveTexas]

Wow, I haven’t thought about these burgers for years. I might need to make them again soon. I used to cook from The Art of French Cooking all the time, but chronic pain and a desire to cook "lighter" food caused me to drift away from it. I love watching you make these recipes, though. Stuffed mushrooms are a no-go here. All mushrooms taste like dirt to me. Maybe I have a gene for that, similar to people who find cilantro to taste like soap. But I can’t stand the flavor of mushrooms. I’ve successfully substituted stuffed twice-baked potatoes for stuffed mushrooms and had no complaints from anyone; I just bake a bunch of "C"-size potatoes, cut them in half, scoop out some of the potato to mix with the stuffing ingredients, refill the little potatoes, and bake again. And yes, you absolutely must drizzle with more butter.

[@GeorgeSemel]

I find dredging the burger patties in flour to be an interesting twist. Very similar to a Salisbury Steak, a thinner pan sauce with the mushrooms stuffed and on the side. I would thing it would go well with oven roasted potatoes and tossed salad along with a glass of Red wine or a good beer.

[@mahoneytechnologies657]

I do the same, but I add Mucho Garlic and I find everything stays together ok without the egg. Thanks for keeping Julia with Us! I am sure Julia has a Smile on her Face somewhere in the Universe!

@ Linda DePascale: My mother used fresh finely minced garlic and dill. Then she breaded the patties in the regular way with bread crumbs and egg mixture and cooked in a little oil. Beats that chef up there in the video.

Honestly, those look like the most delicious hamburgers ever! (And that’s even though I typically like my burgers medium rare.)

[@cherylanderson3340]

Med rare for me too, but pink not red. I'd be so bummed if my burgers were so well done, after all that preparation & production. It's like if there were too much salt, but I had to eat it anyway, since it was too expensive to toss out & start again.

[@Acadia26]

Burgers are only truly safe to eat when they're cooked right through. Even the best meat can harbour a host of nasty bacteria on its surface. That is why it's perfectly fine to eat a rare piece of steak because the bacteria on the outside of the steak is killed with the heat. With minced meat, each tiny piece can be covered with bacteria which stays alive unless it's cooked through.

[@rotinasemroteiro]

My dad had this - very experimental - recipe back then of ground beef with onion soup mix and small bacon pieces, shaped like a pizza dough and covered with cheese. It was one of my favorite dinner recipes when I was a child. 😅

[@DustyMagroovy]

I like that you cooked the burgers fully. Looks good.

[@J0hnny0]

These aren't hamburgers....They're meatball patties.

How does this guy find a Ceiling Bowl Dispenser in every apartment in every country he lives in? I never do. I just don't get it.

[@johnbaker6125]

I make Julia's mushroom rice frequently and it's wonderful. But I don't ever seem to get much liquid out of squeezing the minced mushrooms. I have an alternative; I just sauté without squeezing them. In a minute or less, the mushrooms will leak out all their liquid in the pan. I tip the pan and spoon it out, reserve it and continue the sauté until the mushroom bits no longer stick to each other, about 4 minutes total. The mushroom liquid then is used as additional flavoring in the rice.

Despite Julia's recommendation. instead of lean beef plus additional fat, use ground chuck with the same ingredients. For an American style, toast the bun, put salt and pepper of the patty, and mayonnaise on the bun, nothing else.

Ground chuck is the best cut for flavor

I know this is an older video, but quick tip, we don't wash vegetables to get the dirt off them, we wash them to remove the leftover pesticides which can be bad for you health long term (so once isn't gonna change the world) and to wash away bacteria colonies that we can't see. Love your videos! just a thing that stuck out to me :)

One tip is to use some gelatine in it, even if you overcook it it will still be juicy. Do so for meatballs as well
