I had the honor as a Boston waiter for 38 years to serve her and sometimes her husband. She influenced my life. My mom says after grade school I would plop in front of our old black and white TV, laughing along with Julia. I am so very lucky.

Being British, I discovered Julia from the film 'Julie and Julia'. Her shows never reached Britain. Watching some of these vids has revealed what an engaging character she was. Now, I can appreciate Meryl Streep's portrayal of her even more!🤗

In the early 90s Julia was here on Cape Cod because she was the special guest conductor for the annual Pops by the Sea concert by the Boston Pops orchestra . I was working in the bakery at a local supermarket. That morning a woman was frantically milling about. I asked her if I could help her (no it wasn’t Julia). She was looking for a baguette, I told her I was just about to put them out as she sighed in relief and I quickly grabbed her one. She leaned in and told me that Julia was going to use it to conduct the orchestra, I was tickled. Sure enough there she was the next day on the Cover of the newspaper conducting the Pops with my baguette!

the MAX show Julia goes through the making of this episode. Julia just brought her Kitchen in and all her tools, and bought all the ingredients, and bought all the practice food $$, and fed the crew afterward. She brought culture, style, class, intelligence, empathy, respect and love into American Kitchens.

Many Chefs today wont explain what their doing the way Julia did. She explains many details of the cooking experience. I sure miss this lady. And i loved the movie Julie and Julia. Not so much the Julie part, but the Julia part was fantastic.

Well, today I finally learned how to peel onions and properly cook mushrooms. I’m 73. 😂

She was as close to a culinary genius that we had in the late 50s and early 60s. She knew her stuff, seriously. I am in awe. This is the first episode. I can't stop watching.

Julia seems like such a genuine, kind soul and I absolutely love watching her cook. Thank you PBS for putting these episodes on YouTube for all to enjoy, Bon Appetit~

The first episode of the first season of the first Julia Child show. Magic, and I've read that they really struggled with production. Gives joy to my heart.
-
Thank you PBS for bringing Julia to YouTube! Love this!
-
I've been watching the entire French Chef for the first time, starting from episode 1. An episode is my therapy at the end of every night. Takes me back to a more peaceful and simpler time. Not to mention how much I'm learning from Julia
-
I am so glad these are available to us today, to still learn from her.
-
I remember watching this show on black and white TV back in the good old days when they had good wholesome programming I don't even watch TV anymore Julia Child you were the best
-
Julia’s memory is a blessing to us all
-
I'm so happy to see these episodes on Youtube! She is such a legend
-
I made this and it was absolutely delicious, and the best dinner I ever made.
-
I used to watch the Julia Child show on PBS when I was a kid. Nobody ever really made much of a deal out of it. It’s only recently that people have come to appreciate that show.

As a home chef on a budget who loves anything gourmet I tend towards higher end pots, utensils, and whatnot when I can find it secondhand or on discount. I got my 129.00 pepper mill for .50 for instance. And I literally have a perfect selection of 100 fancy labeled matching spice jars. But Julia humbles me with her odd little jars of spices and vintage aluminum pots, simple but expertly chosen ingredients, and unpretentious cooking methods. She creates accessible gourmet fare fit for both royalty and the common man. Growing up with a mother who struggled a bit in the kitchen in the 80s, I would watch Julia with awe at how easy she made it look. My mom now comes to my house for dinners and enjoys my attempts at Julia's wonderful recipes with my ridiculously fancy cookware that doesn't do a darn thing better than Julia's lol. I highly recommend her creamy mushroom soup btw. This recipe is next.

Really impressive. This video was very minimally edited: they shot it in one long take with a few cameras. If you read My Life in France, there are a lot of stories about how she got started making cooking shows. And notice she's using an electric stove (!).
-
For her first show she demonstrates the grace, aplomb and timing for which she became noted. No nervousness or screw-ups (those entertaining gaffes came later).
