ive been watching the anti chef cuz i missed julias cheftasticness.
glad she is on the youtube. -
I love how she explains things to a tee...she has a down to earth easy approach to explaining things for the common novice cook! And she doesn't rush through the process.

Watched this and had lobster for New Year’s Eve. With champagne , baguettes, Caesar salad and edamame peas . Garlic butter melted over small side steaks. What a feast!

This takes me right back to the sixties when my mom was a huge fan!

To get the meat out of the walkers, break off a segment and use a rolling pin to squeeze out the meat. I saw this on the American Test Kitchen while making lobster rolls. I do the same on the Blue Crab with the crab mallet.

7 lb lobster was probably 100 y/o. Been watching lobster fisherman on YouTube and I’m impressed just how big and old they can get. As a kid, we went out to a fancy restaurant once or twice a year. My dad always ordered lobster Thermidor and he would alway tell the waiter he wanted lobster Thermidor and not lobster Newburg

Ever since playing The Sims 2, I've wondered what was in lobster thermidor. Now I know, and it looks wonderful!

Lord rest her soul! My mother discovered her in the early to mid '60s, and we laughed at her through the first few episodes, then realized just how fantastic a cook she was, and more importantly, she demystified cooking for all of us. Decades later, her book is and remains a bible in our home - I watched this episode over lunch of Julia's onion soup that I made. I've never done her thermidor. And I wouldn't have thought to use tarragon in the mushrooms or the cream sauce. I'm not a big tomalley or roe fan, and the white stuff is clotted lobster blood, but if Julia says to use it...

Seeing Julia Child prepare a classy dish makes me hungry. 😋
-
Yum❤ I remember these old Julia Child shows on WGBH as a child, my mother was a gourmet cook and often made wonderful recipes out of the NY Times cookbook, Bon Appétit from Arizona
-
Good GOD that looks incredibly GOOD!! Out of this WORLD good, in fact! Only Julia Child could EVER make it look easy AND terribly delicious all at the same time!

All Hail Julia
-
I don't know how she got through that recipe without snipping one of her fingers off. I know it's Julia Child but I winced every time she used the shears.
-
Boy that last one was gigantic.
Would be funny if it came to life. -
Wow loved it, national treasure for sure. Yummy

I was four years old going on a Great Big Five Years Old in three months when this episode aired. I was lucky that my mother was a very good cook, but she never made this dish. I didn't think about it again until five years later when it was mentioned in Monty Python's "Spam" sketch. From that point onward, every time I heard the dish mentioned I wanted to add "...and Spam" at the end.
