Anyone who can talk intelligently for a half hour and tie multiple meats at the same time in front of a live camera gets my respect. She was the trailblazer for anyone you see on the food network today.

Exactly, no drama or shtick. Just about the food and techniques. Giving a chance to enjoy variety of wholesome foods that were easily accessible (and affordable) for the average family. 55+ years later we can still learn from the O.G. TV chef and it's fantastic! Back to basics and still relevant, enduring through all the extreme fusion 'fashion' trends in food of the last few decades. I love a good Julia marathon ❤️

There was probably a script. With the style of filming, you would often rehearse the whole thing ahead of time. Similar to a play.
I'm making this today. Plan on chilling overnight & serving tomorrow. There are only 2 in our household & I'm 75 my husband is 82. Figure we can have it for 2 days. Then make up single serving meals in bento boxes & freeze. How lovely it will be to reach in the freezer for dinner on days too busy to cook. Also plan to freeze any extra cooking stock which means a great start for a vegetable soup. We're on a fixed income & the price breakdown is $40 for the meats, about $10 for the herbs & vegetation. For us, I'm looking at a minimum of 20 servings or $2.50 @ serving. Quite a bargain for a healthy meal. Probably less--depending on how much stock I have left over for soup.
You can usually tell when she's running out of time at the end and she just throws stuff on the platter to get it into the dining room for the final presentation. I love watching this woman, absolutely adore her.
She's often portrayed as a character, but watching these early episodes I'm struck by just how brilliant-but-normal she was. Magnifique.

I agree. The way she was portrayed by Meryl Streep was horrible, IMO. She was brilliant, sensible, funny, down to earth...not anything like the cackling, crazy person the movies showed.
I had the pleasure of meeting her at the farmers market when I lived in Santa Barbara. She was in a chair and with her nurse but she was still a keen foodie.
I can just imagine all these housewives in the 50's and 60's prepping to watch Julia. Sitting down with pen and paper in hand intently watching, thanking the Lord they learned shorthand in high school. I am rather grateful for reruns and being able to pause and rewatch these. I wouldn't be able to redo what she did without it.

The only woman I know who took shorthand in h.s. was my former office manager and she was born in the late 1950s. I am only a few years younger and it eventually became a secretarial school course, I don't remember if my secondary school even offered it anymore. Your mention of shorthand makes me curious how many other old timey skills became passe'.

Or like my mom (who knows shorthand), they just bought her cookbook.
I remember watching her program when I was growing up. I once asked my Mom if we could make a recipe on the show (I don't remember which one) she replied, "Only if Julia Child was in our kitchen". French cooking was not in her wheel house, Hispanic dishes was her passion. Her reply stuck with me though and now I can have Julia on video in my kitchen. 😁
That quality of the meat and vegetables is so hard to find today. And Julia was so "real" in the kitchen. No social media foolishness. We have lost so much in the last 70 years.

Totally agree, especially about all we've lost, in this supposedly modern and enlightened era. Instead of sensible, simple, quality-based cooking backed by solid, basic technique - as Julia showed here and for years after - today cooking on TV and in the media today is fluff: Gadgets (air fryers, cookware sets, bread makers, etc.), celebrity chefs trying to show each other up or show us how smart/handsome/pretty/funny they can be, andKZread chefs with no credentials posing as authorities, just to name a few. Watch what she does and it is so easy to cook delicious things. With whatever you have in your refridgerator. She calls it "the art of French cooking," but the art in this case isn't always complicated or difficult. It's learning and mastering a few basic skills, and then using your hands and eyes and tongue to make delicious food. She was a treasure.

Farmer's market. And if you don't have one try to make a small garden. If nothing else you can grow herbs and that will save you some money. Just a bit but every penny counts if you want fresh humane ingredients.
I laughed so hard watching her drop things on the floor and just leave them there, or picking them up and throw them back in her pot. I would love to see that floor. And she tied all the meats in string then tied them to the handles “for easy removal”. And then she tied up every vegetable, spice bouquet, and anything else laying around. And then after she has used probably 12 - 15 containers, she takes one huge platter with everything in it to the table and says “All in one pot!” And she looks so pleased with her creation. Earlier in the show when she is tieing up every every thing she says so happily “Oh isn’t this fun!?” I just love her, she is one unique chef!! Thank you Julia for everything!

Julia always has a checklist of information in her head. I can tell when she pauses to make sure she's hit every item. I remember during her chicken fricassee episode her pause and she talked about drying off the meat before and not overcrowding the pan, really simple but important instructions especially to a new cook. She was also just a dear, humble and sweet person.
This would be a good idea for a large family's dinner and all you need is the food, boiling pot, and serving tray. Just tell everybody, including the kids to dig in. No fryer grease, no fire, no oven...Couldn't be easier. Thanks Julia.

Anyone making negative comments needs to be reminded that Julia worked well into old age and lived to be 91.
She mentioned beef at $0.89 a pound in 1962 when this was filmed.. 2022 cost is $8.75 a pound, the roast she uses is 6lbs, which totals $52.00. I'd pay it! That beef looks good!
@jasonw4053
Жыл бұрын
Not quite. Your inflation calculation is correct, $.89 is roughly equal to $8.75 in 2022 dollars, but the average price of chuck roast in September 2022 is about $6.60 a pound, which means we're actually paying *less* per pound today, when adjusted for inflation, than Julia did in 1962! Today's price per pound for chuck would equate to $.67 a pound in 1962!

$0.89/lb for the beef...and that was extravagant at the time. I remember being sent to the butcher to buy meat and was given a dollar with the admonition of "do not lose that money"! I could go to stores and such at 6-8 years old and my parents didn't have any concerns about safety as neighbors looked out for each other. Simpler times. This was a great show when I was a child. Thanks for sharing!

She was so in touch with the prices of things and informative about how much things were by the pound. A real down to earth woman and an excellent teacher.

People have forgotten how to cook in this healthy way which these days would be called “keto”. All the good animal fats combined with vegetables (except for the carbs in the breadcrumb stuffing which you could leave out). I would probably just use chicken or beef and not the pork or sausages as it’s all too much using too many meats. But it’s a great one pot meal even for 1 person and you could eat this all week. I also love the simplicity of the presentation compared to the cooking shows today which are over-produced (I can’t stand Master Chef), over acted, over edited and overdone. Julia is a straight forward and easy to understand teacher. The cooks on Tv these days are so ridiculous many of them make me sick and their food is over-the-top. What Julia is cooking here is completely normal, traditional food that most people understand and would enjoy!

Now I can at long last see the attraction of a boiled dinner, something which has always eluded me, although, being from New England too, like Julia Child, I have often see mention of or recipes for a "New England boiled dinner." Especially on historic menu, posted for example as wall decorations in the dining halls of Yale and Harvard. Strange that my family never cooked something like this when I was growing up, in spite of the fact that my grandmothers (one English, the other French), my mother and my uncle were all proficient chefs. Note no lamb, ham, or cabbage. Potatoes cooked separately. Served with a mild Dijon mustard and horseradish based sauce could be good.
