More About Puff Pastry | The French Chef Season 2 | Julia Child

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

Julia had several methods for puff pastry. I have tried all of them and never had a failure. She was meticulous and relentless in her search for a recipe that could be replicated by a home cook who thoroughly read and carefully followed the instructions to the letter. A true icon.

Does she have a puff pastry method in volume 1 of her book?

[@phulnelson]

@@gracianomaso3333 not in volume 1. It’s in volume 2, page 111.

@@phulnelson Thank you

[@phulnelson]

@@gracianomaso3333 I’m actually rereading it right this minute because I’m making mushroom Wellington for a vegetarian thanksgiving dinner!

[@gracianomaso3333]

@phulnelson hope everything turns out great.

Always loved watching her cook on tv one of my favorite shows❤

[@macaroon2534]

This series is still the best! She calmly and non egotistically teaches classic French cuisine!!!

[@macaroon2534]

I have prepared most of her recipes since the 1970s as a teen and love Julia the very best!! She knows so much that she spurred me on to RESEARCH my ingredients and grow them and continue recipe testing…Voile

[@macaroon2534]

I use the cuts of meat that heretofore were cheap…and knowledge of these cuts and how to make them sumptuously delicious is the challenge for a great chef!!

[@pamela5568]

Julia was really the first of television chef's. I think if we'd been about the same age, and met we would have been great friends.

[@Justcanadianjanjan]

Thank goodness they came out with frozen puff pastry sheets… I’m willing to try anything but when Jamie Oliver once said “ it’s ok mates to buy frozen, I do”… I said giddy up! Let’s face it, all the ingredients we do for the insides of the PP is homemade so let’s all give ourselves a break 👩‍🍳 bless Julia’s heart ♥️

100% butter?

[@MIKECNW]

Notice the TV camera at the left?

[@LorBell]

She's tried very hard to make it look easy ;-)

[@wathah323]

Butter is expensive now

[@jody024]

What isnt these days....

[@midwestkatie4]

What in the heck are all those background noises? Sounds like a game of Jumanji going on.

[@wathah323]

They used ton of Lard and Fat.

[@andreaskohlmann4972]

Sure, but croissants are 50 % butter, and they're "awfully good"

[@fishwax6371]

As long as the fat isn't processed (hydrogenated or hydrolyzed, as with margarine and Crisco), it's okay. We've been brainwashed to think natural fat is bad for us by the people who make fake fat, which is a killer.

[@JanPatt327]

​@@fishwax6371I agree. I always keep lard in my larder 😉. I even make my own when I can gather enough pork fat to render. Bonus: It's loaded with Vitamin D!

[@philfaulisi4864]

She is terrible with measurements. It’s 2 TEAspoons of salt, not tablespoons. Christ, you can even see she isn’t using the tablespoon measure

[@incaschultz1536]

Typical for a good cook
