    The joy of the background noise! Telephone ringing, airplane overhead, and someone washing up - makes it all so very real. Like no other, I am constantly finding love for her episodes. ❤️🇦🇺

    Most of these shows were done in one take with no edits. Julia never wanted mistakes removed to show that you could make mistakes. These shows were done on WGBH's large sound stage where they would roll Julia's "kitchen" in and plug everything in. This is why she uses an electric stove and not a gas stove on the show. As she was talking to an American audience, she tried to use ingredients and utensils that American's were likely to have, or point out substitutes as her focus was to take the mystique of French cooking to Americans.

    Wow, I've just learned something new from a 58-year-old cooking show and that is lightly flouring your hamburger patties before frying to make them brown better. I've never heard of doing that before but it makes perfect sense. I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks Julia, you're still teaching us!
  • @sharonhunt2267
    I love the episode where she drops a cooked turkey on the floor, bends over to pick it up and put back on the platter- dryly saying… now remember folks-only you were in the kitchen when this happened… it just cracks me up!!!!
  • @ramonar6180
    This was so nice. I used to watch her waaay back when she started her show. There was Julia Child & the Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr in the beginning. Now everyone has a show.
  • @huggledemon32
    This is legitimately educational- I can’t think of many (if ANY) cooking shows these days, that would give THIS much information!🤷‍♀️🥰
  • @lindalettman624
    My Mum used to watch this show. I was more interested in watching my Mum watching the show! Now I see why she was enthralled 💕
  • @paisley1134
    She is a excellent teacher of food. I really enjoy watching her and her sense of humor .

    Clicked through from an ad for the channel. Only time I ever got a relevant and useful ad from YouTube. Simply love Julia Child.

    I've been missing my gran... this is the closest I could get to a day spent cooking with her... thank you ♡
  • @karenokeane6461
    I'd heard of Julia Child, of course. Even watched the movie with Meryl Streep. Now, thanks to PBS's Youtube channel, I can easily understand why her kitchen was awarded its place of honor at the Smithsonian. Thank you, PBS, for making this valuable content available to everyone, to ALL generations. Julie Child is truly "One Of A Kind'.
  • @willman9567
    She was young here. I remember when she was on tv much older. Always entertaining.

    Love that these shows have been brought back. Floods of memories as a youth watching this show. My mother (rest her soul) was a terrible cook and I learned from Julia Child that I could do much better. I'm a good cook to this day thanks to her inspiration.
  • @bambiwhite2030
    That's the first time I have ever seen her show! Not gonna lie, I'm hooked and wanna cook!!! ❤️❤️❤️
