Great comment.
right on.
i’m against all the processing. i’ll take a tablespoon of real butter over a tablespoon of whatever the “fat free fat” of the day is.
Hahaha, can you believe that someone gave me a neg for my comment? why wouldn’t they rebutt my statement instead?
I think the main problem with food these days is the fact that 80% of items bought from a supermarket contain corn fructose.
The beef we eat doesn’t even get to eat grass as it was intended, they are fed a slurry of man made “food” and injected with growth hormone in order to reach market fatser. The same deal with chicken. Fish have high mercury content.
We are eating garbage now
excellent point, and yet with all this new “guidance” we only seem to have more problems eating “safer” things.
she is still the best
“Festin Joyeux” is what you order at Mickey D’s in Paris when you want a Happy Meal! I knew I’d heard that phrase somewhere before…
Jefferson’s cook that he had trained was a slave.
Cream, butter, eggs…all in ample quantity. How did she live to 91? People would have us believe it impossible to live to an old age on such a diet.
I still have my Mother’s first cook book from the 1930’s and I love it.
I simply love her and her gracious ways of communicating. A singing cookbook and cookbooks of early years “gives us a more gentle view not of war and politics but of family and community”. Horray Julia and Happy Birthday to you!!
I always smile when I see a pic of her smile…she’s so cute.
You forgot adorable!
She was smart, charming, and one honors her with every recipe one makes from her own book.
The singing….she is just a wonderment. God bless her….and the movie IS great.
Wonderful! Brava Mrs Child!
Don’t you just love her? She gave us so much more than just “how to cook”. More, Julia Child wanted us to discover life in its fullness! I’m so glad that her popularity is being given a boost by Julie & Julia – if you haven’t seen the movie, do so!
The grocery store would actually have the recipes printed, but they would fly off the rack. My mother would go to the store very early on the day they came out and would stand in line for the recipe to go with the show that week.
is she a man?
Streep does an amazing job as Julia in the new movie coming out in early Aug (saw a screening this week). Simply amazing!
perfection.
Her singing made me laugh my fucking ass off!
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. In the days before on-line recipes, my Mom would sit & watch Julia Child and grab a pencil, a crayon…anything, and scribble these recipes – while Julia cooked – on the back of a piece of scrap paper so she could try them out at home. We tried many of them.
i have a very old cook book, from my grand father, he was in the war as ships’s chef, ingenoius, how they cooked,and with what they hadand they cooked like for a zillion people, i must say the recipes sounds quite distgusting, no disrespect pa,pa,ya did what ya could, julia could have done no better
Not only was she an excellent chef, but her personality was just so addictive. Such a fantastic woman, but she lived to a ripe old age and we miss her terribly.
I absolutely love her. I can watch her show all day and not tire of it.
she’s an awsome chef…but ahhhhh her voice is so ahhhh!!
Oh how I miss her shows. I grew up watching her and own most of her books.
