Movie Reviews of Julia Child! - The French Chef, Volume 3
Movie Review: She is impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
The more I learn about cooking the more I realize how superior her television show is compared to most cooking programs. Not only do the episodes hold up to those of today's chefs, she is a much better teacher than, I think, any of them. Her commentary as she works is just right. Some of her remarks just seem funny then when you cook the dish you realize there was a perfect instruction tucked in there. I learn more from watching her than any other chef; she is incredibly fast but seems to be taking her time to show the correct way to do things. And her explanations of "why" are priceless. Chefs don't do that much now, yet it is valuable in the sense that ambitious cooks (like me) really benefit from knowing WHY things are supposed to be done in a certain way. It helps me improve. I watch all the cooking shows and hers really are the best. I wish I had all of her shows on dvd.
Summary of Julia Child! - The French Chef, Volume 3
Julia Child was not a natural-born cook - when she married she could barely boil an egg. But she fell in love with French food and soon enrolled at the Cordon Bleu where she learned the great tradition of Classical French cuisine. Later with two French women she devoted years to writing a manuscript finally published as "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" which became a culinary classic and sold over one million copies.Warm and exuberant Julia was a natural television star. In 1963 she appeared on public television in "The French Chef" a cooking series unlike anything yet seen on TV. Scooping up a spilled potato pancake or coaxing a reluctant souffl Julia was not afraid of making mistakes. Soon a nation fed on Shake n Bake and Tang would be experimenting with quiche Lorraine and boeuf bourgignon and cooking would become a national pastime.This is the story of Julia s two great loves- for her husband Paul and for cooking. Through an interview with Julia herself filmed in her fabled kitchen and rare images from the photo collection of Paul Child and from family photo albums Julia Child is revealed as few have seen her before in this tribute and testament to a great American icon.This special edition also contains 2 discs featuring 12 classic episodes of "The French Chef".Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST Rating: NR UPC: 783421414297 Manufacturer No: WG41429Documentary DVD Video
