Loved watching Julia Unplugged.
The thought of being in a rough spot and having a neighbor bring over a platter like that is really heartwarming.

@@jrx2662 The "rough spot" I'm talking about is if someone is to sick too go out for dinner or groceries, or perhaps they're grieving some sort of loss. Bringing food to someone in that situation is common practice. It wasn't too long ago that the only food you could get delivered to most American suburbs was pizza. A big platter of spaghetti and garlic bread may not be the ritziest thing, but it's a cozy meal and a kind gesture, especially if it's homemade.

I think the home kitchen setting instead of the test kitchen with other people around makes a huge difference too. She doesn't need a co-host

I have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve seen with Julia maybe even ever. She seems to be more natural and less scripted. I love this video.
So I'm obsessed with Julia Childs and Ina Garton but no one comes close to my obsession with Julia and Bridget on ATK. How cool would it have been to be one of your kids growing up in your household wow you guys are amazing love you bye
Just watched this video for the third time. Made that meatball recipe 3 or 4 times. They are tremendous. Thank you Julia for what you do with food and publish it for all.

That looks so yummy and easy. I love watching Julia, she is so funny and interactive. Thanks for being you.
This is the best cooking video I’ve seen in a really long time! My kind of reality TV 😉
as an italian american boy myself- its all about the salad on the same plate!
This video format - putting a family meal together - is wonderful. And that unique recipe for the meatballs. Can't wait to cook this for everyone.
Love this show so much! No religion, no politics. Just friendly people making good food.
I love watching this lady cook! Especially when she’s at home, more relaxed that way. Julia explains everything very well, and I just love the little personal tidbits she throws in there.
Brava, Julia! After watching you on "televison" for decades, it was a great pleasure to see you cooking at "home." My heartfelt gratitude...
I can watch her all day. Her food be looking so right!!! ❤
I never thought of adding the pesto to the meatballs and then having it meld into the sauce takes out the measuring of the herbs, great idea❣️
You are such a fun, down to earth teacher. So easy to learn from you!
Julia you should have had your own show YEARS ago! You are an absolute pleasure to watch.

Ms. J, may I have a hug from you? You and Ms B are so comfy to watch it just makes me want to hang out with you two and learn to cook and hug you both.
Finally realistic cooking for a weeknight and even the weekend. I really enjoyed this video.
Now I’m hungry. Darn you! Guess what I just HAVE to make now? ❤p. s. Absolutely love your presentation talents and genuine sense of humor!
I’ll try this recipe tonight! A favorite tip of mine to cook meatballs and sauce is to do them low and slow in a crockpot all day. The meatballs flavor the tomato sauce as they cook and the tomato sauce helps tenderize the meatballs and adds to their flavor. Win-win and they come out amazing. I do this before I leave for work in the morning and when I get home I just need to cook the pasta, throw together a quick salad and dinner’s on!

CAn you imagine being taught how to cook by this amazing lady? I am a total mess in the kitchen, and even I could cook after instruction from Julia.
U people r awsome...the perfect people made by God..
I was able to have supper with Julia in her house in Cambridge with my then girlfriend. The meal was amazing but Julia herself was even more brilliant. Your sauce looks amazing!
We have spaghetti on Sundays or if family visits. I’m not Italian but that’s what we do for family meals. Who doesn’t love spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread!
My French mother made a salad every day just like that. We always ate it last after we ate dinner. She said it is good for digestion 🇫🇷
This is one of all-time favorite recipes of yours, Julia! It is quick and easy to prepare and delicious! 🤗
Great to bring over to someone who just moved into the neighborhood.
Garlic bread was a hit. I liked the meatballs but one kid did and one kid didn't. My wife scarfed It down so she must have liked it. thanks so much.
I have made this exact recipe several times since I discovered it back in April. It's great! Sometimes I baked the meatballs instead of frying them, but they turn out delicious either way.

Can't wait to make this garlic bread! Looks amazing.
The best garlic bread I've had was at am Italian restaurant in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I keep trying to recreate it. Maybe this garlic toasting is the magic!
Julia I have been watching you for a while and I love how you give the recipe ingredients and how adept you are. As one commented that would be a welcome meal when you are in need. 👍
You're amazing ! Love your spirit and the way you cook. Just like my mom used to :)
I love these home videos Julia! Your candidness of how you truly cook at home is perfect. Sometimes TV cookery shows can be a little too much perfection 😉
This is our favorite way to make garlic bread. I like to add some finely chopped basil or parsley to butter. Super delish
I promise, I will be back, to tell how this entire meal worked out for me, because I trust this recipe, it’s going to work, the ingredients are perfect and she added more in this video. Thanks Again, ATK and CC❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏿🙏🏿😊
Julia is the best!!! Cracks me up everytime!!! Where is that white spatula!" Wash it, I just used it on the garlic spread!" - it's OK, dogs love garlic!"
Julia is one of my favorite, favorite chefs, and she is so beautiful. Greetings from Costa Rica ❤
I love your ATK videos and your “at home” ones. You are a joy!
I imagine sitting in the kitchen with Julia, sipping a glass of wine, enjoying her company as she creates this homey meal, and that’s how I go to my Happy Place. 😊 Thank you, Julia!
I love Julia, I remember watching her when I was younger on channel 8 in Atlanta. I also love the American Test Kitchen.
Julia, you are so fun to watch! I laughed out loud at some of your comments. Will make these meatballs soon.
Great/easy Recipe! Thank you! 🙏 7 oz fresh pesto 1 1/2 Lb ground meat 2/3 cup Panko 1/2 tsp salt Pepper Mix well Portion meatballs Heat nonstick skillet w 1 TBS oil, med heat Brown meatballs in oil about 8-10 mins I bake my meatballs in the oven coz I’m lazy. 😉 When finished, you can put them in your heated sauce to finish cooking through. Toasted Garlic bread at 10 min mark. Toasted Garlic crushed using side of knife or spatula 6 TBS unsalted butter Salt 2 TBS or so of Parmesan Spread on bread Put in 500 degree oven 8 mins.
I like videos like this where a whole meal is being put together, step by step
Loved this episode. Definitely making this. Julia is so down to earth and funny.
Hello homemade sauce...goodbye Prego! I always thought that spaghetti sauce was way more difficult than that. I can't hardly wait to make this for my family. Your video is awesome. I feel like I'm sitting at the counter watching you. Thank you 😊
My grandmother used to add a tablespoon of table sugar to neutralize the acid in the tomatoes. When I make my Sunday gravy (sauce), I use whole shallots and a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered, local honey
I like that trick of flipping the pan to prevent the oil from spilling out
Julia D. I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON and BACK, you’re truly the sister I wish I had, I love almost every recipe you prepare, I am older now and for some reason, you finally made sense to me for preparing one of my favorite meals, GOD BLESS: you, your family and Everyone at both ATK and CC, I love and appreciate all the demos food, equipment & tasting of products. Thanks for such a special shows ❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏿🙏🏿
Adding the pesto to the meat is genius!
Grass clippings.. dying over here! Another winner from my favorite gal. ❤️👍🍝
when i drain pasta I usually put the strainer on top of the measuring cup so when i'm draining the water most of it goes into the cup
I’m singing along! Love the idea of adding pesto to the meatball mix. Mangia!
That share comment was so sweet!! Kindness seems so vacant these days! Thx!!
That garlic bread!! OMG my mouth is watering! Not to mention the meatballs! Thank you Julia for making this! I already had dinner and now I want this!
My mom makes her salad the same way, uses olive oil and salt and it's delicious. That's what I snack on, romaine lettuce with OO and salt. Yum.
Her and Bridgette are the best! Great episode! However. I prefer all beef meatballs, but whatever!👍😁
I like that Julia is using my favorite brand of knife -- Global -- even though ATK panned it in their review of chef's knives, (And I have spotted her using a Chicago Cutlery santoku knife ... not that there's anything wrong with that!)
There's so much to learn from watching ATK. Really love it!
Julia just love your videos Your such a wonderful lady sharing your fabulous recipes … You are a ray of sunshine with your beautiful smile and warm personality 🌺🥰🌸❤️

??? 🤨This *is* her own cooking show lol. Two 9-episode seasons have already aired on Pluto TV and she's already shot at least a third season yet to air. Hacked up segments from the first season have been uploaded to KZread since March, but this the second (semi) intact episode.
I love you, tomorrow like every week keep doing the cooking. You and your crew are the best. Thanks!
*First of all, I LOVE YOU!!! Second, Chubby is good!!! Thirdly, I love garlic and onion. Fourth, personally I prefer beef & pork for my meat sauce. (I leave the meat loose in the sauce. I also use ketchup and tomato paste. For my salad, instead of oil, I use garlic and onion powders plus a bit of cummin and paprika and salt & pepper.*
Great rhythm to this meal coming together
This is my favorite ATK videos. A woman after my own heart. You make me cook your recipes every time. Excuse me, I have to go shopping.
I also like the ATK drop meatballs in oven .
sounds like another meal worth trying in my kitchen Thanks
That eating bits and pieces of food while u r cooking is soo me lol :))) that's the cook's perk 😆

We have people coming over on Monday and I wasn't sure what to make. Now I know! I make my meatballs with a mixture of minced beef and pork. I will use Panko this time instead of milk soaked bread pieces. Great looking meal. Thanks!
