    The exact measurement craze really bugs me. I will NOT buy any "kitchen scale." That's ridiculous. When I was growing up, the sign of a true expert was that they never measured anything at all. They KNEW. Just like they knew that it's fine to put your fingers into things because, hello!, it's going to be baked/cooked hot enough to kill any germs. Duh.

That way, the speaking voice didn’t need to be exact. But, of course, she still did a perfect job of imitating Julia‘s speech patterns and voice ,like she does with every character she plays on film.

    I know Julia Child came from SoCal, but I also am from California and am so curious as to where her particular accent came from. One of my friend's mothers speaks almost just the same, but she's originally from Texas (moved to California when she was in her early 20s) and was probably was born in the late 40s or early 50s. Owns a well-known local vintage clothing store. That cadence and sort of low, warbly, lilty, breath-y declarative sound is simultaneously so unique and ordinary-sounding.

    I found my printed recipe today from a cooking class I took when Sur La Table specialty store offered classes. Sadly, they are closed now but it was a fun group class. My husband and I were paired up with a guy who happened to be a sushi chef. The class was 4 hours long but the process was 8 hours. We started the dough and flipped and turned and then our dough went into the fridge and we were given dough from the last class. We made 3 kinds: regular, ham and cheese and chocolate. The plain were my favorite. Our sushi partner left early and we went home with his share too. The whole store smelled so good and people were asking for our croissants. We had a big brown bag full. I felt like a rock star.

Sometimes turning the oven on for a few minutes makes it too warm, over 100°. The slower the dough rises, the more flavor it develops. So you don’t want to let it rise too quickly in a very warm environment.

    She put salt straight into her yeast! Which I do, too, but am so excited cause you hear Al these modern YT chefs like Claire Saffitz (and others I can’t think of rn) telling you salt kills yeast! I always knew it was a myth, cause I always do it and it never hurts anything, but this is the icing on my salt and yeast cake! 😂

    Julia does this kind of thing quite a bit. She experimented a lot with things like frozen and canned ingredients, adjusting the traditional recipes for them so the housewives of the day could make great food, with ingredients easily (and inexpensively) acquired by households on budgets, and she was brilliant at breaking down the recipes techniques to the simplest steps. She also often gives variations to include lower fat and lower calorie options by substituting different ingredients. Just my opinion, but I think she's the original celebrity chef. She started it with no special effects, all done in a single take, mistakes, and all. No current celebrity chef could do it the way she had to!

    @BoxedUp678 ------- do able, yes, but you will not get a handmade, Parisienne croissant that easily. Not by a long shot. I lived in Paris for a few years and became very, very picky as to my food, esp croissants. Some bakeries just bake these up from frozen, premade pieces. And those do NOT look or taste the same, at all, compared to the real thing! Bakeries will have a (very small) sign in their window as to whether they just bake these off from frozen pieces or if they make their croissants from scratch. Naturally the handmade ones are vastly superior! Vastly! Making croissants from frozen bread dough..... well..... remember the time that show was made in. And the new 'marvel' of frozen food, TV dinners, and time saving, easy make dinners, from boxes!!! Pick up a cookbook from the '50's, '60's, '70's by Betty Crocker, Better Homes and Gardens, etc and look at the recipes! Instant this, boxed that, just add water and stir, etc, etc, etc! It was just awful food. Lots of Oleo, marshmallows, Jello, potato chip toppings, and cooking a turkey in a brown paper grocery bag--- the food was God awful!!! Cooking was something that was to take as little time as possible! Cost as little as possible! And be as streamlined and ugly as possible! (Canned green beans? That are grey!!!??? Yuk!!!) So I watch this show with a chuckle! It was a sign of the times when 'cheap, fast, easy, streamlined and 'QUICK!'' were the watch words. Certainly words like gourmet, authentic or even 'good' were NOT ever used! AND THE FOOD TASTED LIKE IT!!! Without trying this recipe with frozen dough I'll take a pass. I know what real croissants taste like. And I make my own. And if it takes 2 or 3 days to make them??? Oh, well!!! At least mine taste very good! And that's what I'm going for. Not quick or easy!

    I love this recipe. Like she says, even if they are not perfect, they are still good. I found that store brand butter is just as good as the premium "European" butter. The only thing I change is the method to incorporate the butter. I used Brian Lagerstrom's method for that. Also at the end, instead if dividing the dough into thirds, I divided in half to make 8 croissants instead of 12. It's an great treat that just takes time and patience. I make them on the weekend, then freeze them, and they are breakfast (plus) all week.

    Made these again today. Every time I make them they just get better. Hint: Let them do their final rise for at least 2 hours. If the dough is springing back when rolling, let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Egg wash them at the beginning of the final rise and again before baking. Just amazing.
