"Just a speck, because you don't want people to ever taste something and say 'oh, nutmeg'." This line has gotten me for over twenty years.

I watched that as a pretty young person and never forgot it! So funny what sticks with us...I was never crazy about nutmeg, but when I took dear Julia's advice, it worked beautifully. I'm careful to this day!

Love the sound effects when removing the spinach stems: "Bblleeek!" Such a treasure. ❤

Cream or just milk, if you're on one of those hideous diets... And that is why I love & miss her.

Good to finally see Mme. Beck. What a character.

This episode was a good one because she ties her work with the French methodology. Simca is wonderful and adds a certain something.

Was looking how to make a good spinach pie or a good way to use spinach in recipes in general without it being just like a salad... Of course Julia Child would know best what to do! So glad I found this, specially with how she explains it!

You can really tell from the Provence section that Simone Beck could be very difficult to work with, and a complete joy to work with, depending on the phase of the moon.

“QED” says Julia when she demonstrates frozen spinach has 40% water. This is the first (and last) time you’ll hear Latin quoted in a cooking show. She was so unique and just amazing really.

She was very smart and well-read. It's not unusual to come across literary quotes and allusions in her cookbooks.

Had this for the first time when a friend in Nairobi made this for dinner, having carefully written down the recipe several decades before. So delicious! And not very difficult, really.

Too bad they didn't have these films in the show's early years. Someone mentioned once the early episodes had a very tight budget.

I loooove spinach! Any, every and specially Julias way!❤

Simca was very kind and diplomatic in telling Julia that the garlic in the mushrooms wasn't necessary. Julia Child assumed a familiarity with the French that was not appreciated, and there were times when Jacques Pepin was clearly tolerating her but cringing. His smile betrayed his thoughts. My French grandmother thought that Julia was loud and not at all graceful. I find her comedic, if not endearing.

It depends … cooking one or three (unpeeled) pieces of garlic with spinach, then removing them, is an improvement for this boring vegetable. dose it just like the nutmeg. unless you are in the mediterranean and serve it with grilled fish, then you might want to taste the garlic.

If you read what her husband wrote about her, she was an energetic, wholesome, enthusiastic person who was interested in everything. She had a bubbly personality that some people would find grating (the French) or egotistical but she is really just sunshine in a bottle. And if all your grandmother had to judge by was this show, she should have considered this was one take TV, no retakes, no script, & Julia was winging it. Plus she probably had a couple glasses of wine in her. 😊It has been my experience that the French & Germans don’t really like anybody.

Her relationship with Simca was becoming strained at this point, I think. I recall reading that Simca was a bit resentful of Julia's TV success, and they also had very different approaches to cooking; Simca was all about traditional recipes, ingredients, and techniques, while Julia was all about experimenting and trying new approaches and new technology, like food processors. They ended their collaboration (they had started to work on a third MASTERING book) but managed to salvage their friendship after some time had passed.
