The joy of the background noise! Telephone ringing, airplane overhead, and someone washing up - makes it all so very real. Like no other, I am constantly finding love for her episodes. ❤️🇦🇺
Absolutely! What a refreshing atmosphere comparing with what sterile cookingshows we get today
The phone ringing threw her off for a second. But she is always the professional. I love you Miss Julia
From Wikipedia:
When the show began, the budget was so low that "volunteers had to be recruited to wash dishes, and the food sometimes had to be auctioned to the audience afterwards to cover expenses."
Fellow Aussie here shares your love of Julia and her program.
Those background noises were distracting to her, but kept her on her toes as to keeping on going without skipping a beat. A true professional. Thank goodness it didn`t happen every episode.
Most of these shows were done in one take with no edits. Julia never wanted mistakes removed to show that you could make mistakes. These shows were done on WGBH's large sound stage where they would roll Julia's "kitchen" in and plug everything in. This is why she uses an electric stove and not a gas stove on the show. As she was talking to an American audience, she tried to use ingredients and utensils that American's were likely to have, or point out substitutes as her focus was to take the mystique of French cooking to Americans.
Like the time she pulled out a metal putty spatula from a hardware store and said you could use a new one as a bench scraper!
Interesting!
In one episode she quips that someone's at the door, but she ignores in favor of the cooking at hand!
One of my favorite things about her show is the kitchen towel she always has at hand. She pulls it through her belt loop.
What about when someone was ringing the doorbell, was that just a little joke from the stage hands?
Wow, I've just learned something new from a 58-year-old cooking show and that is lightly flouring your hamburger patties before frying to make them brown better. I've never heard of doing that before but it makes perfect sense. I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks Julia, you're still teaching us!
Corn meal flour would work well I think.
Steak can also be done the same with the adding of flour just prior to cooking it.
Yes I have been doing that since reading her books -- the Joy Of Cooking.
@@quickchris10 She didn't write Joy of Cooking. Same decade I think.
@@stinkabella4218 Oh, yeah, I see it was ``Mastering the Art Of French Cooking,'' the one I read from the library, methinks. They also have a baking one by her, and an autobiographical one. Maybe I read the autobiographical one, too. Thanks! (BTW, Irma Bambauer wrote the Joy Of Cooking.)
23:30 Julia with the shade
"They don't have very much flavor on their own..even though they are so expensive" xD
It’s true! That’s one reason that Filet Mignon is typically sold wrapped in bacon….to give it more flavor.
My Mum used to watch this show. I was more interested in watching my Mum watching the show! Now I see why she was enthralled 💕
⁰
This was so nice. I used to watch her waaay back when she started her show. There was Julia Child & the Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr in the beginning. Now everyone has a show.
My friends & I (as teens) were hooked on Graham Kerr, loved his jokes & world -wide stories; he made cooking fun !
Galloping gourmet classic show!
Yeah… but remember when Graham Kerr went dry and ‘healthy’, and began cooking all low fat? I’m glad he kicked his alcohol habit (& I think he became Born Again), but his show didn’t last long after he stopped being so flamboyant and carefree with his ingredients and cooking in lots of butter and/or oil.
I was a teenager and never missed the Galloping Gourmet-- I still chop veggies and clarify butter the way he taught.
ahh Galloping gourmet ... yeah he was a riot ... then he went to the health foods because he was diagnosed with some thing ... I forget what ..
Julia, a legend and national treasure.
Grew up watching Julia with my Russian grandparents food brings people together no matter what language JULIA IS THE BEST MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
I loved Julia Child as a little girl and watched her shows instead of Mr. Rogers or Sesame st. I always found her calm funny and kind. Wonderful lady who taugh us cooking and more! Miss her ❤️
Me too - and she didn't talk "down" to you, and looked like someone I would have loved to have met - such a genuine person!
I put Julia and Bob Ross in the same category for calming tv… 🫶🏻
the best part is she showed you how to fix problems .. very few if any shows these days do that ... she even covers the general aim for flavours or pairings ... not just her favourites ... such as those burgers ... pair them with a side of fettucinne Alfredo and a nice caesar salad and poof you have a fancy meal with cheap foods
Speaking of Mr Rogers ... Somehow my mind tends to associate Julia Child and Lady Elaine Fairchild . Perhaps because of the resemblance in their names, perhaps because of their voice ... 😐
Julia is much nicer than Elaine, however 🙂
Clicked through from an ad for the channel. Only time I ever got a relevant and useful ad from CZcams. Simply love Julia Child.
This is legitimately educational- I can’t think of many (if ANY) cooking shows these days, that would give THIS much information!🤷♀️🥰
Chef Michael Symon is also a teacher-cook. His Saturday afternoon show on Food Network is my fave!!
While I do enjoy the contests; I’d like a mix of teaching shows too.
@@mlcarver1739 Thanks!
Alton Brown’s Good Eats was probably the most informative cooking show I ever watched but this is right up there. I loved Julia’s “The Way to Cook” because of how it explained WHY and HOW you were doing things instead of just presenting recipes.
All her before the food network and food channel.
She is a excellent teacher of food. I really enjoy watching her and her sense of humor .
I loved watching her on PBS, every Saturday night. Learned a lot from her.
So so so much love and laughter! Thank you so much! Please know that I truly cherish you!!! Look for me!!!, and find Me!!!
there was only ever ONE problem with her show ... you want to try every recipe she does ... ;)
I love the episode where she drops a cooked turkey on the floor, bends over to pick it up and put back on the platter- dryly saying… now remember folks-only you were in the kitchen when this happened… it just cracks me up!!!!
I think she was so witty.
julia never dropped a chicken or turkey on the floor. that's a myth.
@@blueeyedbehr I was watching as a child, but I remember she put the pan on the oven door, and the door fell off, along with the pan.
They didn't show the pan on the floor, it may have stayed on top of the door, but they both did crash to the floor.
@@elizabethhowe2110 she did not drop anything on the floor. if you think she did, then please provide proof of that - all of her episodes are available online. i challenge you to provide proof of your accusation.
I saw her drop a chicken breast on floor and dust it off with her proper inspection and REAL persona place it back to complete meal!
I'd heard of Julia Child, of course. Even watched the movie with Meryl Streep. Now, thanks to PBS's CZcams channel, I can easily understand why her kitchen was awarded its place of honor at the Smithsonian. Thank you, PBS, for making this valuable content available to everyone, to ALL generations. Julie Child is truly "One Of A Kind'.
Im.a butcher and i loved her show. I also love to cook and help others.
Her comments on the prices make me crazy!
I know - 55 cents !!
I wish she could see the price of ground round today
Wow. A 6 dollar porterhouse. Today about 35 bucks.
@@wesmcgee1648 Wages were 1-2 dollars per hour, average. Not even minimum wage.
To account for inflation: Divide current prices/income by 10 and multiply the video prices by 10
Love that these shows have been brought back. Floods of memories as a youth watching this show. My mother (rest her soul) was a terrible cook and I learned from Julia Child that I could do much better. I'm a good cook to this day thanks to her inspiration.
🤣 - I learned from my Mom HOW NOT to cook! 🤣
Agreed! As a youth, I did not watch too many TV shows! But pushing 50 my father has reminded me of how I used to sit in front of the TV and tune into this lady! I remember watching her, but not making an extra special effort........
My cops told me that he and I made an extra special effort before DVDs and DVR and whatever else 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Apparently when she was on, I was sitting in front of the boob tube 😂😍
Love me some Julia !
"you don't want to skimp on the wine"...pure Julia
"But first, we taste the cooking sherry!"
And butter....lol
I've been missing my gran... this is the closest I could get to a day spent cooking with her... thank you ♡
I'm so glad to have found Julia again ..wish I could have known her in life ..she's a great teacher and fantastic cook and just a wonderful lady
That's the first time I have ever seen her show! Not gonna lie, I'm hooked and wanna cook!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Her cooking shows are on Tubi for free
oh you poor bugger ... I forsee a LOT of binge watching ... she makes a beef wellington that Gordon ramsays mom copied in her cook off against him and beat him senseless ...
Oh my God I am so happy I found this
She was young here. I remember when she was on tv much older. Always entertaining.
This was the first season of her show. A big deal for her :)
I just looked it up. This is Season 1 , episode 21 and it’s dated as June 22, 1963.
Lol…she’s so excited by her no-stick pan.
And the rubber non burning/melting spatula that goes with it perfectly.
Me too! I noticed the difference in her voice (not so shaky) compared to when I watched her in the early 70s.
1963..
As a kid I grew up watching her show
Oh the memories !! I watched her as a kid. We had a DJ back in Louisiana who created the character 'Julia Wild Cookin Show'' on his radio program. The humor he brought over the radio mimicking her voice and things she would be cooking was just hysterical.
Check out Dan Akroyd's impersonation of her in the 70's on Saturday Night Live. Hilarious!
@@dwhitman3092 I wonder if she found it funny as well. Did she ever talk about it?
@@nolaray1062according to a book by Julia Child's grand nephew:
The Childs kept a videotaped copy of the SNL skit by their TV, and would occasionally break it out for friends. Dorie Greenspan, who co- authored Baking with Julia in 1996, recalled one high-spirited evening when Julia acted out the Aykroyd skit, crying, “Save the liver!” at the top of her lungs.
-Alex Prud’homme
Excerpted from The French Chef in America by Alex Prud’homme.
What a simple and nice cooking show...Gosh...those were the good days!!
Even the music 🎶
Makes me want to go back in time.
To a time when you could leave your kid alone with the TV and not worry about what they were going to see.
Truly, good days.
I doubt anyone realized it then, but we certainly do now.
Hello from down Under Australia 🦘. I totally agree 💯 & you could leave your back door open and not worry about being MURDERED 🔨
Yeah, but you all trusted priests back then and didn’t believe children when they said they were abused. Plus literally everyone was REALLY racist and homophobic. Great cooking show though 😊
@@heatherelliott1538 heck you could leave for a week and return to cut grass the mail and newspaper left inside and nothing missing ...
@@kaboom-zf2bl car keys in the car
@@Phooie the good ole days ... sadly just a memory these days
In real life, she was 6”2 before she became famous. Her husband bought her a remodeled kitchen, which was taller countertop because of her height, and a custom oven /stove. She had her countertops raised taller because it was giving her back pains from the regular ones.
I bet the studio smelled totally awesome that day with all those burgers and steaks!
Years ago, my uncle , who was a gourmet, often corresponded with Julia . Now, I am personally re-discovering her genius. Great videos.
Julia Child is a handsome and elegant woman who got generations of people into cooking. I love that she wasn't pretentious about it either and didn't take herself so seriously, that shows a quality woman right there.
Handsome so you agree she was a man!
@@HopeLaFleur1975 handsome is a turn that's been used past and presently to describe a woman who's strong, salt of the earth, and carries herself with dignity. She wasn't a willowy woman she was about 6 ft 2 and strong and carried herself well. And just because she didn't look like a movie star didn't mean she wasn't attractive.
I watched Julia when I was first married back in the early 80’s it’s how I learned to cook😊I love being able to watch her again❤
Hearing about truffles on potato's in black and white made my heart melt wishing Julia was still with us and imagining what she would wish for on her potatos today to be another 75 years ahead of her time. A true treasure and one of the most influential chefs in history. I put her up there with E man himself. E man of course is the famous Escoffier
I'm discovering Julia for the first time all thanks to that wonderful HBO drama series. I thought about trying to watch the original episodes of The French Chef and I am so glad they're on CZcams! It was really way ahead of its time and while some techniques and tips are a bit outdated the show holds up pretty well. It helps that Julia was an entertaining and very charming teacher.
Having just retired from a short career in the Kroger meat department, I agree with her choices and recommendations. Some supermarkets can still make cuts for you but don't come at the end of the day to get something special.
I have made hamburgers from her first book and they were a delicious revelation. No buns needed. I'd forgotten how educational these shows are, in contrast to many of today's TV cooking shows, which are dumbed down for cooking dummies. Too simple. And, I love how she was a fan of waxed paper. It is really handy. I don't know why it has fallen out of favor.
Such a great guide to all the basics, as well as the fancy touches and techniques. "Icebox," haven't heard that in ages.
I loved the sectional on different cuts of meat, and the prices😀. Julia was an amazing cook and teacher
It’s great to watch this knowing what went on behind the scenes thanks to the show Julia! She’s a national treasure 🍴
What went on behind the scenes?
@@jeffroberts4207 You have to watch the HBO Max series. It’s so GREAT! You won’t want it to end. She was a powerhouse.
@@ashleystearns2486 she truly was, and her and Paul made an unstoppable team.
@@notthecheshirekat2596 agreed!!
Thank you. My father was addicted to her shows. This takes me back to watching them with him. ❤
This is so interesting that Julia could cook on an old fashion simple stove with simple pan and utensils. Price on ground beef was 55 cts and big prime Spencer was $6 a piece. Those were the days.
The phone ringing was halarious!!
To account for inflation, multiply by 10.
It’s all relative because 55 cents is nothing to us because we make more. Back then minimum wage was a dollar. That’s really on par with a pound of ground beef today when you adjust for wages.
@@msoda8516 don't use logic with these people
@@msoda8516 Yes, and ground beef was always prepped at the store, not shipped in from a meat packet.
Love the old phone ring.
love the rawNess...not like today's cooking shows that look so perfect...I love how she throws the frying pans under the counter
love Julia so fun always brightens my day the one with the dancing chicken still
makes me giggle
She reminds me of my late grandmother, even her kitchen. Great memories for me.
Great video. It’s amazing to me that she was one of the first CZcamsrs who shared their recipes.
I always learn so much from these shows even when the ingredients and tools are a little different than before. I found it interesting she was talking about buying the cheapest hamburger but it was 90/10 which is actually considered very lean and kind of expensive today! Our truly cheap stuff is 70/30 and 80/20 is more common for burgers.
90/10 makes for a very dry, tasteless burger!
70/30 is juicey and flavorful!
FAT IS FLAVOR. AFTERALL!
I DON'T MAKE THE BIGGEST BURGERS!
AND I DON'T MAKE THEM ALL THAT OFTEN.
BUT I DO MAKE THE MOST FLAVORFUL BURGERS! A FEW CHOPS OF ONION, A BIT OF WORCESTER SAUCE, A LITTLE SALT, PEPPER, PLUS WHATEVER ELSE I WANT THAT DAY--- TOMATO, LETTUCE, OLIVES, ETC.
ALL ON A TOASTED BUN!
WITH BAKED BEANS!
YUM!!! YUM!!! YUM!!!
I think it's because they fatten the cows to get more money out of them, I think cows at that time did not have that big line of fat on them that they have now.
Yup had burgers smothered in bacon shallot and cream sauce. Yummy
I got a job at a supper club back in the 70s. The I owner lady showed me around the kitchen. Ok. Then she asked me to make a hamburger using the pail of hamburger. I got the job. I used to watch J.C. when I was a kid!
She was the one inspired me cooking so long ago… I respect her introduction of french cuisine to American home kitchen.
This aired June 22, 1963.
Which was a Saturday interestingly enough. Wonder if her show always aired on Saturday
I think I hear Paul in the background washing up the dishes from set 🍔
Their love was inspirational. It is wonderful to find your soulmate and to be able to live out your dreams together - and eat well in the process.
This format is identical to Binging With Babish. It's incredibly timeless.
Also amazing she did it all live.
I’ve made hamburgers like this since I first saw Julia back in the day … perfect for the grill as well.
I liked watching her, her stories, her Guests
I remember watching her when I was much younger. My daughter watched her when she was about 5, I thought she was watching cartoons I was so tickled.
Wonderful! She packed so much into each show.
Big mallet hits big cleaver and Julia says "whack". It literally doesn't get better.
So genuine..
What a wild ride this episode was!!! 🥩Between the cigarette smoke wafting on the right side of the screen for half the show🚬the telephone ringing midway through☎️and all that construction noise in the backgroun🔨🪚it’s a miracle Julia remained focused and on-pace!!! 🍽️
I think that was steam from the kettle on the stove "wafting on the right side of the screen for half the show"...
Oh, the memories... Nostalgic.
I think I'm in love...with Julia Child and of course the meat! It's great rediscovering her shows that I watched on TV so very long ago. Thank you PBS.
Love this show!❤
Soooo wonderful!
I thought it was funny when the phone rang at around 10:19-10:21.
And a bit later a propeller multiengine airplane flew over!!
love this
Steaks and burgers!!!! 😋yummy
When the big cleaver came out I then understood where SNL got their material with Dan Ackyron....now that was hilarious
Fantastic episode
Tried that hamburger recipe last month - WOW! 😋
add a clove of minced or finely diced garlic per burger ... hard stalk is more peppery and and goes excellent ... and they pop ... even left over bacon from breakfast (if your lucky) ... chopped into small bits and mixed in also goes perfect ... so does a little finely chopped cheese ... and you can still top the burger as you like ... BUT remember ... the condiments and raw stuff like lettuce and onion go between BOTH sides of the burger and the cold stuff ... ... myself I the onion ring on the bottom and cheese with lettuce on top and the mustard is one side and ketchup or steak sauce is the other ... then add the top and jam in the pie hole ... beware of juice running down your arms ;)
I cook it on one side until juices start to come out and flip it until the juices run clear.
You’ve convinced me. Going to try it today.
Thoroughly enjoyable - and useful!
How times and prices have changed! She is unconcerned with every little thing as we often are today!!😊
Fabulous! Julia, tres bien!
Wonderful chef with a heart of gold € miss her much ! 😊
Maybe best cooking video ever.
Makes me wantto try it yum
I love the movie and shows based on her. I remember my mom watching her.
I love the chart and discussing the cost! She is just a joy to watch:-)
Meat was so much better back then. I remember buying steaks quite cheap. They weren’t tough. Hamburger was 25 cents a pound in the 50’s. Julia taught us to be economical. I remember her saying to scrape out the bowl, don’t leave an entire serving behind on the sides of the bowl.
Bravo 👏
Whistles at the harvest of the marrow that’s where the collagen resides
Thanks Julia♥️🙏
I love how the oven has googly eyes like cookie monster 😆😆
OMG, I’ve watched these shows many times over, and I have never noticed that! The glass door with the dish in there looks like a mouth too when she blocks part of it. I am going to be giggling at this for at least an hour, and now I will do it with every one of these episodes I watch, which is a wonderful bonus! 😂😂😂
@@notthecheshirekat2596 I notice things that most people look over. I absolutely love watching Julia, I'm glad you like it.
They do look like it but it's just the knobs, haha.
Steak with toast.... delicious!
My goodness, she knows EVERYTHING! Very impressive. ❤
The kind of cooking I grew up with and still prepare sometimes.
🌸💙A sweet and wonderful presentation!! Amazing cooking, looks delicious!! Have a safe beautiful day!!💙🌸
I loved she never cooked with horrible margarine … I guess she knew it was only one molecule away from being plastic. We were raised on butter and I would never dream of buying anything else. Thank you Julia. I love you. 👩🍳♥️ 🧈
Your body knows how to digest butter.
Oleo-margarine not so much! Actually, not at all!
She hated margarine. I remember Julia talking to some host of a tv show, and she asked Julia if you could substitute margarine. Julia was incensed and told her in no uncertain terms, why would you do that. Butter is better or words to that effect. That was long ago.
True chefs use butter. I studied cooking briefly and was told in no uncertain terms that butter is better. It tastes better in anything.
God bless Her
Now that was real education! I grew up with the same oven squeaky door and all! Same stove top too with rocking pans on the burners :-)
That blade steak is what's known today as the flat iron. Very good.
Loved Lawry's seasoning.
Such! a magnificent woman and a BRILLIANT! Chef.
This one is a keeper - lots of great information. We watched HBOs two seasons of Julia and we are very sad there won't be a third season. So we are going to make our way through the real thing. My favorite part of this episode - there is no such thing as Well or Extra Well Done - only Medium and Medium Rare - ha ha! Not an option! I'm from the school where if you want Well Done you don't get a good cut of meat, and I might just offer to to cook your shoe for you instead.
I miss the simpler times. Life was so family related and laid back in the 60s and 70s. People talked.
Cell phones and social media have ruined all that. Kids don’t Knut how to talk to one another anymore
Wow that diced marrow just right over the burgers! That’s gotta be amazingly rich and beefy.
She was Awesome. Bob.I I had a whole bunch of comments, but it got lost. Bon Appetite! Bob.
Wow. I thought I had seen most of her stuff throughout the years I've always been a fan since I was a little kid but I don't think I've ever seen the hamburger and steak episode this is a lot of fun
i recalled it once she pulled out the full tenderloin ... I still go back and watch the show for what I am about to cook when i want to impress with a meal ... never hurts to have a refresher from the best ;)
She was a great chef too kh
I made this for my family last night with her leek soup, something I had never tried before. My dinner was a smash! My 9 year old daughter never eaten so much. My family loves leek soup now!!. Thanks, Julia, for making It so easy to follow. I must say when she said the price of her stakes and how expensive mine are today made me giggle. No such wallet, but it did make me laugh.
*steaks
😋 yummy 🥰🤗
My older sister made burgers with consumee served as a sauce. Very elegant back in the day.
