  • You have all these other “modern” chefs using proofing containers, rulers and exact measurements to do croissants and then you have Julia literally yeeting pins and using heating pads! What a treasure she was!!
  • @paulortiz2035
    'I don't know why I keep this silly rolling pin!' as she chucks it into the garbage can! Hilarious!!! Absolutely Hilarious!!!
  • Remarkable that she's talking about Croissants to an audience who had not necessarily heard of or tried them. We just take them for granted now
  • @YT4Me57
    When she pulled out the newspaper, "Le Figaro"! 😊😊😊
  • @Rotary_Phone
    Wow, that's pretty cool she had an "instant boiling water" faucet in her sink. That was something else!
  • @phillipg1331
    Her breath work on the dialogue is extremely impressive and rarely stumbles. She was a rare breed especially for a trail blazer.
  • Don't you just love the way she beat that butter into submission! She's a gem !!
  • This was very ambitious for this show! Croissants aren't easy. Love Julia!
  • God bless Julia Child!! One of the greatest chef's ever. Such a legend!
  • I was watching "Julie & Julia" (again) recently, and MAN Meryl Streep did an astounding job on Julia's way of speaking!! I really enjoy watching Julia, she was an excellent teacher.
  • Anytime someone tells you how they need their gas oven to cook, send them to these videos. Julia taught America French cooking at home in an all-electric kitchen, at a time when people could only get it in pricy restaurants. The women is a national treasure.
  • @kaboom-zf2bl
    still such a simple recipe ... I love how she switches on the fly between the dough's and adjusts the recipe spiel as she goes yet still includes the other dough's she is NOT currently working with ... she literally covered everything in one process with 4 different types of dough's ...
  • @tretower57
    I love how she suggests using different, funky methods to keep the dough warm while rising it—I never would’ve thought to use a heating pad, or an electric blanket, but that is the unpretentious genius of Julia.

    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.
  • I remember watching her as a child. She was why grew up cooking French cuisines.
  • Thank God I found this channel. I just adore Julia!!! I remember watching her show in the 80's with my mom on Saturday afternoons. Great times!!! I'm going to watch all these videos and then watch them again. 🤣🤣 I love you Julia❤️❤️🥰🥰‼️‼️

    "...I don't know why I keep it, but I do! " no truer words to so many things and "people"... we keep in our lives...ha!
