Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home (Roast Chicken)
Jacques Pepin
Julia Child
Full episode

[@ARIZJOE]

Jacques, a Frenchman, always, but I liked how Julia called him Jack, kind of an acknowledgement of him being an American also.

[@ChristianHopkins411]

I could watch Jacques carve and cut things all day. He's the best when it comes to knife skills.

[@baritonebynight]

I love how these two masters of their craft show how slightly different methods produce wonderful results. I love the companion cookbook that accompanies the series and trying both Julia's and Jacques methods. Julia is much more classically French (her training in the 1950s...only white pepper in white sauces, black pepper in brown sauces) while Jacques is less restricted (he hates white pepper in any sauce).

[@scottjones3038]

I love that they are not wearing rubber gloves. Humans cooked food gloveless from 30,000 BC until circa 2010 when someone decided that gloves were required to prepare a bowl of cereal.

[@geetanjalirai7676]

Chef Pepin you are a wonderful sensitive and compassionte human being.May God bless always.

[@nailbitter310]

Jacques Pépin is a gentleman!

[@billb5690]

Jacques is theee ultimate chef, classy

[@joannaedwards6325]

D sooooo handsome 😜😜❤

[@fxyldy1820]

Julia Child was my mentor. Many, many years ago I used to watch The French Chef on my PBS station in Boston. She taught me to try cooking dishes whether it worked or not. The only way to learn well. Thank you. Jacques Pepin is a joy to watch. He gives me great ideas to improve my cooking.

[@joannaedwards6325]

One of my favorite Julia Child tips is NEVER COMPLAIN NEVER EXPLAIN 😊

[@opwave79]

My mom and i watched Julia slather her chicken with butter once and we started doing the same for all poultry, especially our Thanksgiving turkey. Herbed butter under and on top of the skin.

[@joannaedwards6325]

Learning that Julia Child was OK with being generous with butter kind of gave me the green light for my butter addiction. Bumper sticker . . . . LIFE IS SHORT EAT MORE BUTTER 😄

[@TheVetusMores]

Julia: I've washed this chicken with hot water. Jacques (wincing): I don't wash my chicken. Julia: I think in France, they're not as worried about things as we are. Jacques: Well, I live in Connecticut -- pretty far from France! [...] It's going to go in a 400-450° oven for an hour or so, and at that point, if the bacteria are still living, they _deserve_ to live!

[@mikee8605]

Washing a chicken is generally considered counterproductive, nowadays. But washing a chicken in HOT WATER!?!? 😱😱

[@ColocasiaCorm]

@@mikee8605 i like pouring boiling water on the chicken skin to help it tighten up and crisp. serves both purposes! haha

[@mikee8605]

@@ColocasiaCorm Fair point. I do the same to geese and ducks. I suppose pouring from a kettle, there's less splashing than from a tap, so safer there on that front too.

[@ColocasiaCorm]

@@mikee8605 right plus boiling seems much hotter than hot water. Anyway i don’t care about germs unless it’s not cooked like salad

[@mikee8605]

@@ColocasiaCorm I'd probably agree. Though I think the reason they advise not washing poultry is just to avoid splashing or aerosolising the bacteria.

[@1cryogen]

After one hour in a 400 degree oven, any bacteria that's still living, deserves to live. So good.

[@shaylagogobean417]

They are so cute together! Just cooking nothing to dramatic

[@kn7615]

they are so adorable, and I love how patient Jacques is with Julia :-)

[@joannaedwards6325]

😊halfway through his carving I had to pause the vid to go eat a chicken sandwich😂 😋.

[@richsims6870]

This my favorite way to make chicken and I learned how from Jaques and Julia in 1974 .

[@marcuscicero9587]

accomplished and so modest each of them are. together an absolute powerhouse

[@Colinupham]

They are so wonderful together and he is so thoughtful to her “I know that is how you would like to do it “.

[@JordoGarcia]

“If you have children who like wish bones, too bad for them.” 😂 I love her

[@randolphgarcia3494]

(RIP) TO THE LATE JULIA CHILD, SHE WAS A TRUE FOOD TV PIONEER ALBEIT SOMEWHAT MESSY, BUT NO MATTER. CHEF JACQUES PEPIN RECENTLY RETIRED FROM TV COOKING SHOWS & HIS LAST TV COOKING SERIES WAS JACQUES PEPIN: HEART & SOUL ON PBS ALSO AVAILABLE IN BOOK FORM & ON DVD.

[@peepindis]

Julia was as near to being a saint in my grandparents' home as any layperson could possibly have been. They ADORED her. Back in the 60s they were very upwardly mobile (it was possible back then!) and Julia was able to present haute cuisine in a quirky, sometimes messy, relatable way. She was a true standalone!

[@KhasAdun1990]

I wish more cooking channels on KZbin would take a page from shows like this. I can't stand all the frenetic editing like they're trying to keep childrens' attention. That's not even how to keep kids' attention, Sesame Street learned that in their preliminary episodes. The important thing is to make it easy to follow and learn from, and I think the ridiculous editing just gets in the way of that and creates a kind of sensory overload. If you like this, I also recommend Jean-Pierre, he's fun too.

[@giovanna722]

KhasAdun Good points! Yes, so many people oversell and overedit. It ruins the feel. Just be simple, and relaxed, and let the camera do the work.

[@swisski]

I agree. Sometimes depending on the channel, I'm obliged to put it on mute and activate the sub titles, as I can't deal with the in your face cacophony but the recipes themselves are often worth watching. May be I'm just getting older : )

[@peepindis]

Yes, I agree! I didn't know that about Sesame Street, though.

[@robertmeade7642]

Moi aussi! I also love how Julia towers over Jacques and that they gently kid each other about France v. USA. Great show.

[@Killy5445]

Lmao that Connecticut comment from Jacques. A true legend.

[@nufsed12]

My all time favorite episode. I've cooked Julia's version and its so good

[@T.R.A.N.C.E]

Pure class.

[@MariaLacsamana-ik3in]

These are 2 of my favorite chefs in the world more success on your program & good health to you both ❤️ 😀 🙌 😊

[@kevinfield9391]

2 legends.

[@genisecopada8928]

Delicious!! They each have their own special techniques!!

[@stndrds79]

These shows r making me hungry

[@tcparker1000]

What a splendid pair! Thanks for posting this.

[@cmcull987]

I love their different opinions about cleaning and preparing a chicken.

[@kn7615]

sigh...those knives are SO sharp, lol...heaven, and enviable

[@lifeaquatic7407]

It’s like son and mom. I love the washed chicken debate.

[@funkyblanket15]

Julia is adorable 😊❤

[@angelamcallister9282]

Love them together

[@christopheradam3588]

What classy television -- and in a totally unpretentious way!

[@vigahall7529]

Wonderful! This is such a fantastic show on chicken

[@robertbeger4275]

Whoa, what a team!

[@JacindaH]

Times have changed. If Julia struggled this sweet gentleman of a man helped her in the most subtle way. Now if someone struggles they'll cancel you or burn you as a witch.

[@peepindis]

I agree that Jacques was a gentleman with her. But chivalry is not dead! Did you see Liza Minelli and Lady Gaga at the Oscars last year? It was a wonderful moment in the same spirit.

[@julierood1228]

OMG it looks so yummy!

[@ColocasiaCorm]

what i get from this is not super perfection and indoctrination, but recipe engineers driven by the spirit of good taste and practicality with plenty of experience

[@ellenjankowski1978]

Looks absolutely delicious

[@billb5690]

That roasted chicken looks soooooo good

[@sue6454]

Lovely. Looks delicious. Ty

[@UncleHoCM]

Jacques is so right about not washing, lol.

[@keishahouston1943]

Am fan of Jac And Julia

[@JohnAckerman31]

Same here. I used to watch this show every weekend when I was little. I just loved watching them cook. The thing is whenever I watch this, I almost want to run to my kitchen and cook something

[@cherylroumillat3660]

Beautiful Darling Blessing's Precious Memories..⚘🎚💞🎉

[@monkfan72]

It's always great to have a cooking partner. 😊

[@andyhannah3557]

I wonder what Julia and Jack thought of Dan Aykroyd imitation of her on Saturday Night Live.... I cut the Dickens out of my finger !!

[@mariaemiliafelton4825]

Excellent work.

[@macycharmin]

I love these two! I just learned two things; I have a rack like Julia used (I love it), she is right about using a deeper pan keeping the heat from crisping the skin, I will now use a jelly roll pan instead. And with Jacques putting the chicken in a lg measure cup to keep it from rolling around while seasoning under the skin; I had both problems when I roasted a chicken 3 days ago lol. Now I know! This video reminds me of a lot of my Saturdays in the mid to late 90s when I'd watch PBS starting with Rick Steve's travel show, then onto several cooking shows; Julia & Jacques together or in separate shows each, and a few other cooking shows. Antiques Roadshow, This Old House, The New Yankee Workshop. I'd take a dinner break, then end the evening with several British comedy shows. Aahhh those were the days! And Back then it seemed like 3 or 4x a year they'd have donation telethon breaks in between shows, then in around 2004 or 2005 they started doing telethons most every Saturday that lasted longer, I quit watching then.

[@joannaedwards6325]

You have described MY eighties Saturday PBS binge. Except back then I watched from bed in my pjs with a big hang over. Channel 28 here in So. Cal. What fun that was! Thank you for sharing your memories. 😊

wow i need so much practice

[@lilitincher4973]

Julia is so serious about the "pink juice, meat," and Jacques is just making fun, "If it survives the cooking it deserves to live," ha! Julia didn't think it was funny. I am of the same mind as Jacques, you are going to finish killing the poor thing in the oven or over the stove, no matter what cooking method you are using. In 38 years of cooking never had a problem yet.

[@patcola7335]

Have you ever watched old episodes of Julia with chicken long before the days of all this paranoid clean, clean, clean?

[@Believe30]

She was so cool, and he was so stuffy.

[@randygeyer7673]

The backbone is sooo good to eat. I think because of so much bone. I come from a butcher family.

[@americanmade6996]

When they used to leave some meat on them I would cook a bunch of just chicken backs for dinner. Backs are the best part for fried chicken.

[@saramysko1022]

[@RainKerosene]

21:55 did julia just make fun of jacques under her breath

[@Holyfishsticksironman]

I️ don’t think so. She might have been talking to Jacques or to production. We don’t get all of what she said because of the cut.

[@paulsolon6229]

No, no lemon in chicken

Up here in Canada that roasting chicken would be about 50 bucks.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Yikes! Meet me at the U.S. bridge and I’ll throw you some over. 🤣🤣🤣

[@sheteg1]

Good lord. Just marinate the whole bird overnight with a semi dry/wet rub. Stuffed with citrus (orange or Lemon sliced). Place on a rack. Let come to room temp 1 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 450°. Cook 15 minutes at 450°. Turn heat down to 325°. Cook for another 1 1/2 hours. (4 to 5 pound bird) 165° with thermometer in dark meat.

[@JasonBrozic]

What year was this..?

[@RYN988]

1999

[@jdad8726]

pulling the breast and tenderloin is epic

[@fujoshirants9609]

Although Jacques was funny, I am with Julia. I wash all ingredients, because the food handlers might have scratched their crotch while working. I have washed food my whole life and cleaned afterwards. So did my family. We never had food poisoning.

[@sheteg1]

@fojoshi. You realize when you cook something for 2 hours all the germs are killed away ? Washing make no sense. Go to cooking school

[@arniemoriarty4110]

Why make chicken add salt and no black pepper that’s just stupid

[@thricegreatart]

I love Jacques and Julia but I disagree a bit with the advice about 'rosy juices' from a chicken - get a thermometer instead!! The color of a juice is not a reliable indicator of doneness.

[@paulsolon6229]

No don’t wash chicken

[@JimmyDoggy-b1c]

No foolproof methods for cooking We all use different condiments

[@paulsolon6229]

Julia is kind women. But Jacques is real pro in kitchen I am giving up watching them together. Videos are long. Are not that good But excellent are the series of 5 min videos Pepin does by himself. Faster. More helpful. More information. And large selection of dishes he whips out

[@patc1309]

Vinaigrette: Salad dressing of oil, wine vinegar, and seasoning. When you're already eating chicken that you've just made yourself, I don't see why you'd toss the oil just so you could add some back with olive oil.
