The best part of Julia on KZbin is we can stop and rewind and pause where as our mothers had to quickly find a pad and pen to copy her recipes… and when the show was over it was over for them..I’m thankful and I Mean so thankful My mother was such a beautiful cook and mostly baker and when she passed away I was Fortunate to inherit her Recipe box.

It’s also fair to note that, even as Julia Child’s cookbooks contain precise renderings of time-honored dishes, her TV show revealed a confident, casual cook who might forget the garlic or add too much cottage cheese, but who soldiered on without apologizing. Now that’s a model worth following.

[@voraciousreader3341]

People really need to forget today’s KZbin videos and propel their minds backwards to the time when the television programs were aired. The available cameras and other technology dictated much, as well as the studio setup, because they were often shared spaces. Putting in gas and having to have a tank around would have been dangerous and truly unnecessary, and most Americans thought gas stoves were too dirty and “low tech;” they wanted up-to-date, clean electric _everything_ when this was filmed. Anyway, Child was such an excellent chef she could work with any situation, so a portable electric cooktop obviously didn’t bother her at all….she may have used an electric stove at home because they were so ubiquitous!

I totally agree. My lasagna recipe takes 5 hours to make. I'm sure there are quicker ways to do it, but it would be hard to believe they are quite as delicious as doing everything from scratch.

Julia is naturally adorable and makes me laugh as much as I find her generous, enthusiastic and full of humor. I discovered her recently in the film Julia & Julie with Meryl Streep. Beautiful person, Julia... I am French and she reminds me of 2 French women cooks. Maïté (cook with a show: La cuisine des Mousquetaires) with great moments of laughter, among which, when she does not manage to kill a live eel or when she adds a "small" dose of Calvados (she empties almost half the bottle...). And to La Mère Léa (mother Léa), a great cook renowned among Les Mères Lyonnaises (mothers of Lyon in France) who did her own shopping. There are one or two videos of her, including one where she meets her friend Paul Bocuse, young but already renowned chef. That is the cuisine of the Mothers, and Julia pays tribute to them with the same spirit! It should be noted that Paul Bocuse learned his excellence in cooking from famous Mères Lyonnaises, such as La Mère Eugénie Brazier (the restaurant still exists in Lyon, in the 1st arrondissement, in the Rhône department, like Paul Bocuse's restaurant in Collonge-au-mont-d'Or very close to Lyon, 7 km from the center of Lyon). The same is true for Georges Blanc who learned his excellence from Mères Elisa and Paulette Blanc, respectively his paternal grandmother and his mother. The restaurant still exists in Vonnas in the Ain department, near Bourg-en-Bresse and less than 70 km from Lyon. Bon appétit ! 😀😋

People don't realize that the fruits and vegetables that we eat today are quite different from older days. Yesterday's tomatoes had seeds that were bitter with tough skins. Carrot skins were bitter and needed to be removed. Today's fruits and vegetables have been modified to eliminate bitterness and toughness. And BTW, that doesn't make them GMO!

Even modern tomato skins will make your tomato sauce very bitter when they cook down. That’s why recipes usually call for canned tomatoes to skip the blanching process.

Julia got LOTS of hate mail over this, believe it or not. It turns out many were disgusted by her handling of lasagna as a vehicle for leftovers, or were just offended at a French chef doing lasagna at all. They kept a form letter on file to send back, with a statement that this was not intended to be traditional authentic Italian lasagna, that cooking is about trying new ideas and combinations, and including the recipe. They never got a reply to that!

[@nathanjustus6659]

What is interesting is that, as I understand it from speaking to a coworker who is of Italian heritage and lived in Italy for a number of years, there are many variations of lasagna served throughout Italy. In southern Italy, the lasagna is more like Americans think of lasagna. In northern Italy, white sauce and other ingredients are in it. Kind of like how chili is cooked differently in the United States in different parts of the country.

Watching it, I felt the same way. She just slopped everything she could get her hands on (cottage cheese? Ugh).

Every episode is a joy. My sis made lasagne yesterday with all sorts of weird shit in it. It didn’t retain its layers but who cares. It was good.

Well...unfortunately she's been gone for a while just enjoy watching her cook listening to that distinct voice she was one of the forerunners of all these cooking shows today...ENJOY

I have not tried this particular lasagna recipe. But I have had a "mixed lasagna." It was made by a Colombian man. The bottom layer was made with chicken and a bechamel sauce and the top was a traditional red sauce lasagna with beef. I was actually very delicious.

Ever since my ex showed me that lasagna noodles don't need to be preboiled, i pretty much used her method of throwing thing together. Now i spend most of my time on the bechamel and tomato sauces to maximize flavor.

Ronzoni macaroni and Progresso canned tomatoes (label in English and Italian) bring back many memories!

I used to make an excellent chicken lasagna back when I was a teenager in the late 80’s. I should try it again - inspired by Julia and the French. And yikes, the Italian mafia is gonna get mad but I’m going to bake it in my cast iron skillet. I remember watching her show on PBS back when I was a kid. Also loved her show with Jacques Pepin later on in her career.
