What a culinary queen. I love watching her two handed cooking - beating eggy yolks with her right hand and melting chocolate with her left. What a woman.
Let me be the first to say thank you for starting a channel & posting these! I assume this is the official CZcams channel. I’ve been enjoying Julia on HBO and now that season 1 is done I’m happy to find these are up & I don’t have to search for bits of actual Julia Child on other channels. I hope you continue to add her videos to the collection. I’m delighted I now have both Bob Ross and Julia Child in my subscriptions. These vintage tv shows are so charming and relaxing to watch. And I can learn something timeless from them too.
I'm a professional chef and I can confirm that the lessons in her show are the same basic skills necessary to work in professional kitchens. These episodes aren't just markers of pop culture - they're historical artifacts.
As a child I would watch Julia and then invade my mother’s kitchen and prepare whatever she had demonstrated. I had an older brother who really liked to eat whatever I had made.
Love these early shows. You can see how they tried different things like putting up the recipes and giving you time to write it down. And when she gets into the dining room she is probably getting notes from cameraman "we have 40 seconds to kill..." so she'll say things like "I wonder if there is anything else I haven't told you...." Early TV. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Well more likely the other crewmen but speaking of cameras notice the shot of one of the cameras?
Gosh I wonder how many of these early episodes and these interferences?
of course now it is unbelievable to folks that she would need to introduce herself to the audience! I am 70 and I watched all of these episodes with my mother as they were broadcast. such a national treasure.
Thanks for posting this! Julia was such a treasure! Her cooking lessons are still relevant, imo.
I would like to make this-I grew up in the early 1960s and was aware of Julia Child being on TV but I never actually watched her shows. She is remarkably slim in this video, considering how much butter was used in her recipes. 😁
This is wonderful! ❤️ Love the seeing the little mistakes & noises in production -makes it more interesting!
Beating those egg whites gave her quite a workout. She's so breathless.Early seventies I got her cookbooks, This souffle failed me time after time. But once you get it, you feel like a winner 🏆. Edit: You can make whip cream from evaporated milk. It's really rich and delicious on strawberry shortcake, on top of puddings, a dollop on your coffee. Anything that calls for whip cream.
Love these old black and white episodes!
I'm enjoying these JC episodes so much! She truly was quite the phenom
Wow! That looks like the prototype for the original mixer. Thank you, Julia! I love to watch this woman.
There is Julian child and then everyone else.
I don’t care what you throw at us. She is number one.
PBS, I love you, you made my day, thank you thank you for giving everybody the opportunity to finally watch these master-pieces of history!
Julia Child, I love you !
Beautiful Wonderful recipe. Yummy Desert. Delightful that everything was so explained for us
Some of her speech reminds me of Miss Hathaway (Nancy Culp)of the Beverly Hillbillies. That stiff upper lip boarding school feelings. Bet Julia never saw an episode.
But maybe Nancy Culp (Miss Hathaway) closely studied Julia for her upper crust accent.
I was born in the 1950s and I still call the refrigerator an Ice Box....
I never knew there was a time it's super fine sugar was called instant. I'm aware that it's referred to as caster sugar in the U.K.
I think its powdered sugar here in America.
@@VickiTakacs. superfine sugar not quite as fine as powdered it's between granulated and how did sugar. Domino brand makes all three of those. Superfine is supposed to dissolve more easily in the cold liquids than granulated.
You have to be careful with powdered sugar, it usually has cornstarch in and messes with recipes that call for caster or superfine.
The things you learn...60 years later. I didn't know about keeping the whip cream in a cheese cloth-lined strainer. That's also the way to make yoghurt cream cheese.
I like how you can tell that those old TV cameras obviously had round lenses.
I thought adding water to melting chocolate was a big no no bc it would make it seize?
I thought it was because the temperature of the water.
Not boiling and all.
Superfine sugar is easily done in a food processor. Even the cheap $ store variety.
Wow. This series really covered all the staples of a nice housewife's repatoire.
She says to use a copper bowl with it being black n white I cant tell if it is copper or the copper is underneath
The entire bowl should be copper.
Kind of like I make my banana pudding. Except there is flour in it.
I have a double boiler
I don't know why they all you the french chef when you were born in california
It is great but not caramel custard. Why did you write that? That’s what I want to make
Still weirded out by the uncooked egg whites......
That only reveals your ignorance about food and being an uneducated cook.
That stand mixer was painful to watch 😄
Interesting that the studio kitchen wall panels are pegboard. A fairly dated choice
lol shes so clearly sick, maybe intense allergies or a cold or something. But she's powering through!
It seems like she seized her chocolate?
Her handling of the chocolate was a disaster. If it did seize, they got rid of it in the edit.
@@KJ_nyc they may have had a backup. Her first several season were done live to video tape, they didn’t have the budget for multiple shoots and editing. I think that’s what makes it charming though. It shows there are mistakes and how to address them most times and lets her personality really come through.
Unlike today where we see polished and sterilized end products.
@@latui7350 I don't find it charming to see someone fail on-camera, especially Julia Child. What strikes me as disappointing; this woman was not only not prepared for television, she made too many cooking mistakes. You can't get away with that today. I'll take a polished Michelin presentation today any day over this nonsense, in spite of the fact that I do love Julia.
Drink every time she says "stiff".
Julia seems to have a little trouble breathing in this video.
Yes it was almost hard to watch
@@syvonnie15 She probably just had a cold. See her dabbing her nose at 18:05. It wasn't "hard to watch" at all.
Julia was quite a heavy smoker for years and she often is a bit out of breath.
@@ThomasDawkins88 However, she lived to be 91
@@Michael_in_Vt She died two days short of her 83rd birthday. Check Wikipedia. She worked awfully hard beating everything the way that recipe required.
It is fascinating to see what a disaster Julia Child once was. No wonder many French mocked her. Although her skill with the whisk was impressive, it wore her out on-camera. She beat herself into a sweaty, breathless mess. I'm sure the studio was very hot with those ancient hot lights. Mousse au chocolat is not a super-easy recipe to tackle. Whenever you work with chocolate, skill is required, especially when melting and folding in other ingredients. Child exhibited little skill here. Her handling of the chocolate is a disaster. An utter disaster. Same with her handling of heavy cream. The mousse mold must have had gelatin in it, but no mention of that. Without gelatin, it would be impossible to un-mold in a form like that. All of this is fascinating to watch. She really was lacking in knowledge and talent, but she became a star anyway.
She said she froze the molded one so it would turn out without breaking. I disagree with everything else you said.
