The Salmon Show | Dinner at Julia's | Julia Child

[@baritonebynight]

Dinner at Julia's was a mystery until now. I remember watching reruns of the French Chef as a kid, and Julie Child and Company/More Company on the Food Network in the late 1990s when the Food Network was worth watching as well as her Cooking/Baking with Master Chefs and of course Julia and Jaques...but this was has eluded me ..until now!

It's lovely to see Julia in her happiest, most successful, prime. After initial nerves of starting a new genre in television programming and before the tolls which come with a life well lived.

[@Superiorsouthshorewoods]

Magnificent show, please bring us more of this program, a whole series per chance?! Julia is fishing, awesome, the French Chef show, fully aged.👌

[@jeffcarty3292]

This show is wonderful to see! Having said that: a lot of the food is not practical, for a home/family cook. It seems she wanted to do big spectacular things, on this show.

[@ryanhilliard1620]

@@jeffcarty3292It was the 80s. Everything was big and spectacular. Boomers were in their 30s and making lots of money-always looking for impressive new ways of showing it off.

[@glamdolly30]

Agreed, the dessert in particular was in my view far too 'cheffy' and elaborate for a private dinner party (pretty messy to eat too!). But the TV show was meant to be over the top glamorous, formal and dare I say elitist, and as another poster points out it was the 'eighties when excess was celebrated! I loved seeing a classic, whole salmon poached and the cooking liquid used as the base of a wonderful sauce, with cream and parsley. That is a spectacular and fundamentally unpretentious dinner party dish, that cooked right is guaranteed to be delicious.

This series is my very favorite of the Julia Child catalog. I hope you bring us more of Dinner at Julia's. Thanks for posting.

[@michaeltres]

I can't believe I've lived long enough to see this show again. I saw most of the episodes when they were new decades ago, but then they disappeared. I'm glad they're back. I see that the episode is edited (Julia's welcome and introduction are missing) and the music has been changed. Too bad, but I'll take whatever I can get!!

[@andreszimmermann5696]

The best thing that can happen on a saturday? Julia Child on KZbin...😃😃😃

[@HigherPlainGames]

Thank you so much for putting these out. I live in the UK and have been trying to buy everything Julia Child has available. I'm glad to have been able to buy the season on Amazon video. I'd never seen this series and am so happy I can watch it now. Julia reminds me so much of my much missed nan.

[@elainecrawford6891]

What an amazing life she led... Miss her so very much. Thank you for sharing this clip. As others have commented, please provide similar content. 🙏❤👍

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

W O W!!! How marvelously elegant and SCRUMPTIOUS it all looks! Job well done, Julia and company!

[@jody024]

Thanks for the continued posts of Julia's shows!

[@VladamireD]

That intro is class all the way, really sets the mood.

[@lysippus]

it's crap AI/stock rubbish. the original was 'these foolish things' played live on a big steinway. the new one is totally boring and ruins a lot of the show

[@benmulvey2704]

"You can often borrow one from a hotel" !!! That might work for Julia Child, but the rest of us would probably get some pretty odd looks if we rocked up to a hotel and asked to borrow their salmon poacher.

[@tracydanneo]

Worth a shot, I’d say.

[@insertclevername4123]

"While I borrow your three-foot salmon poacher, could I also make use of your commercial cooktop? The middle three burners on my home range are out, and you just know how hard it is to get your man to fix anything these days!" (I enjoy the shows and realize that she could steamroll people who weren't Jacques Pepin or James Beard, but hopefully at some point someone at least tried to tell her, "Um...Julia? Our average viewers might not be able to 'just buy a nice goose' if the ducks at the market are too expensive that day.")

[@ronalddowdell9231]

I'm not a big fan of raw meat but Julia makes everything look so classy.

[@Scottwilkie18]

Nice Who remembers Julia Child and Company

[@fathermetalASMR]

1:57 Most intense episode of River Monsters I've ever seen. Hang on, Julia! 🐟🎣

[@Justin.Ullmann]

I wish you guys would show more Julia Child on PBS and getting sick of the same episodes of Julia Child's kitchen with MasterChef and baking with Julia Child. I wish you guys could add shows to PBS like French chef and some of her other shows more episodes of other shows by Julia love watching her

[@MrPh30]

I remembered her episode on Norwegian broadcast NRK Fjernsynskjøkkenet ,it is on the web tv free for all to see from 91 . She also made a program of her self about Norway to be shown in the US also then. That one is very rare or not known much about .

[@Drakescythe9]

A Julia Child cooking show I've seen before! Yay!

[@hoagie1978]

I think this show (1983) and the series of videotapes (1985) "The Way To Cook" was shot in Julia's Santa Barbara, California home. Her primary residence was in Cambridge, Massachusetts was seen on her 90's TV series.

[@Superiorsouthshorewoods]

We are making a baked cod torsk for dinner.

[@glamdolly30]

Fab to see a classic, whole salmon poached, and the cooking liquid used as the base of a delicious sauce, with the addition of cream and parsley. That's a very impressive but also simple and unpretentious dinner party main course, guaranteed to be delicious if cooked/timed right. The dessert was far too 'cheffy' and elaborate for a humble home dinner party, and I felt would be messy to eat. But this TV show was about entertainment first and foremost, and a level of over the top glamour and elegance typically only found in the finest formal restaurants. Julia Child had her finger on the public pulse, and presented this TV series in the early 1980s, when luxurious food and fine dining were first opening up and becoming accessible to ordinary, working men and women. While she revelled in the finer things, she was never a food snob, or the least bit elitist. On the contrary, she celebrated the power of good food, whatever it may be, to unite people. Loved seeing Julia at sea in fisherman's oilskins, reeling in a salmon - she always threw herself into every activity with such enthusiasm. A real 'people person', who found the perfect means to shine and share her special brand of magic through food. God bless her, there will never be another. Thank goodness she is preserved on film, for countless future generations to learn from, and fall in love with. Bon appetite!

[@judyharpur]

What wonderful wigs the chefs proudly wore😅

[@debbrueggemann3762]

Darling Julia, maybe YOU could borrow a fish poacher from a restaurant, but I doubt most of us could!

[@MrRufusjax]

I wouldn't tell her "no"! She can borrow my cooking equipment anytime.

[@enolamsamoht]

She did sorta make it sound frivolous.

[@nope24601]

When was the original airing date?

[@CatherineC.2123]

1983.

[@carriemolinaro5835]

Only Julia can make basic white bread into a haute cuisine

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

That was different. Can't say the food appealed. But I did enjoy the format.

[@Roccodabest]

At a time when people were trying to eat and look like royalty. Nowadays everyone eats 3 mins meals in pajamas and flip flops

[@MrRufusjax]

How true!

[@jessrow1275]

It’s a little hard to tell, but I’d call that salmon way overdone.

[@lysippus]

why was "these foolish things" them song removed for that AI/stock piano thing? ruins a lot of the show!

[@johnvanorder3581]

Wha?? Never heard of Dinner at Julia's! How can this be? Can you please make all the Julia's available for purchase where we don't have to subscribe to communist PBS? I will never give them a dime.

[@arak2551]

You do realize these are made available for free by “communist PBS”?
