Movie Reviews of The French Chef With Julia Child 2
Movie Review: The French Chef 1 & 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been waiting for years for these DVDs to appear. Julia Child was an amazing woman who inspired me as a young bride to cook. She was, in addition to being a superb chef, a wonderful teacher. Her techniques and the recipes stand the test of time. My daughter, an excellent cook in her own right, has heard me talk about Julia Child and now she has her own copies of both DVDs. My daughter had watched Julia Child as a guest on television shows but now that she has actually seen the "Master Chef" in action she appreciates why I have been in love with Julia Child for so long. Julia Child goes back to the basics of cooking, showing the techniques that you have to master to become a really good cook.
Summary of The French Chef With Julia Child 2
A regular program on WGBH Boston from 1963 to 1972, The French Chef is perhaps best known for its down-to-earth hostess Julia Child with her dry wit and practical approach to "fancy" French cooking. Eighteen classic programs, in black and white and color, feature the ever-practical Julia Child educating viewers in everything from starters and side dishes like braised spinach, shirred eggs, and hollandaise sauce, to main courses like seafood cr?pes and braised goose, to breads and desserts like croissants and the exotic g?teau in a cage. Julia Child leads viewers step-by-step through each recipe, imploring budding chefs to use their fingers and hands, let go of their fear of failure, avoid a sense of panic and maintain a sense of humor so that neither the cook nor the souffl? collapses. Helpful tips include advice about preparing dishes ahead of time, how to save a recipe gone awry, and an ever-present sense of humor that includes a waving goose and more than a few chuckles from Julia Child at her own inevitable bloopers. While current recommendations about food safety may necessitate altering some suggestions like defrosting a goose in the sink for 4 hours and modern dietary guidelines might frown upon the use of pork back fat in a terrine or p?t?, the majority of these recipes can easily be prepared without alteration today. If you love French food and want to learn how to prepare it yourself, join Julia Child for 18 lessons that are sure to have you cooking up exotic dishes in no time. --Tami HoriuchiPrepare to enjoy eighteen of Julia Child s kitchen classics in a sumptuous second collection from her pioneering cooking show The French Chef.The French Chef was a cooking series unlike anything yet seen on TV. Warm and exuberant Julia was a natural television star whether 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 bourguignon and cooking would become a national pastime.This special collection presents 18 episodes from her groundbreaking series. In her signature style and with bloopers intact Julia demonstrates such classic recipes as cr pes suzette omelette gratin e p t de campagne b che de No l and many more.Bon appetit!Disc 1 Starters Sauces and Sides Cooking Vegetables Vegetable Adventures Elegance with Eggs More about Potatoes Terrines and Pat s The Hollandaise FamilyDisc 2 - Main Courses French Crepes I Cooking Your Goose Roast Suckling Pig Fish in Monk's Clothing Cheese Souffle Sole Bonne FemmeDisc 3 Breads and Desserts French Crepes II Buche De Noel Croissants Gateau in a Cage French Bread VIP Cake: Le PrantomeSystem Requirements:Running Time 30 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST UPC: 783421405196 Manufacturer No: WG40519
