Product Description:
Julia Child was a true pioneer when it came to changing the way the world thinks about food and cooking. Some of her accomplishments include starring in numerous television cookery programs and authoring several books. Child's innovative series THE FRENCH CHEF (which ran throughout the 1960s on public television) not only brought French cuisine to American dinner tables but also set a standard for all cooking shows to follow. Filled with energy humor and passion the show earned Child countless fans. In the 18 episodes gathered here Child provides recipes for many dishes including salade Nicoise mousseline au chocolat bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise and beouf bourguignon.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST UPC: 783421382992 Manufacturer No: WG38299

Three servings of practical cooking advice per one serving of nostalgia is the recipe for this 18-episode culinary collector's item. The French Chef with Julia Child, the pioneering public television series which premiered in 1962, brought French cuisine to American kitchens without a dash of pretension. Child (1912-2004), a cooking legend and cultural icon with her 6'2' commanding-yet-self-deprecating presence, leads viewers through some of her favorite and classic recipes with requisite humor and congeniality. The three-disc compilation is divided into Starters and Side Dishes; Main Courses; and Desserts and Other Classics, and includes several printable recipes from each category. In vintage black and white, the collection begins with 'The Potato Show' and Child's sage counsel, 'When you flip anything you must have the courage of your convictions,' before she flips half of her sautéed potatoes onto the stovetop. Peppered throughout the collection are such reminders of why Child was so endearing: she let the camera roll through all her culinary disasters. In another show, 'To Roast a Chicken,' Child lines up five headless poultry as if arranging for a family photo, while earnestly discussing the differences between a fryer and a roaster, the 'full glory of its chickendom.' Even non-gourmands will find themselves captivated by such vintage entertainment, while passionate epicureans will relish step-by-step demonstrations of wonders such as boeuf bourguignon (from her debut show), salad Nicoise, bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise, and mousse au chocolat.
