She is so adorable!

[VadaMyrtle]

LMFAO

[iloveparee]

She was unique. One of a kind. A real pioneer.

She did so much, all so pleasantly. So glad Meryl

Streep did that movie. It made me look closer at

Julia Child.

Serves six to eight little green men. This is an ancient Saint Lucian recipe often known by its preposterous name Chair humaine à labsinthe. Sometimes elephantine fossilized croûtons excreted with sucked curds are bred on the pogo stick of the gestated human flesh and the cutie is then banged under the electric blanket until the cream is squirting. Whether you do this or not, this wangle penetrates a pretty luscious fellow and is one of my stiff as a poker hobnobbers.

[Khymy]

@IrmaCerrutti ....idiot!

[thegirl44]

@Khymy

If you can't beat the troll at it's own game then there really isn't any reason to reply to it.

"....idiot!" just doesn't cut it, my friend.

[thegirl44]

@IrmaCerrutti

My only complaint about the recipe that you've listed is that if you don't pay particular attention to it won't rise properly. Other than that it is smashing, indeed.

[prrrrecious]

she's so funny

[bear1989s]

Julia was never "pulled" from anything, and the BBC series died for almost pathetically funny reasons, not involving alcohol at all.  The only accurate answer to questions about Julia can be found in the annotated biography, " Appetite for Life", by Fitch.

[rubyxcube3]

I read somewhere that when she was finally pulled from tv it was due to people complaining that she looked crazy, drunk or demented on her shows. It is so sad that people of that time "outgrew her" and would not appreciate her humor or beautiful spirit and hurt her in that way.

[mohitminshu]

really. that's just so sad. and in some sense cruel.

[rustydog1236]

Odd, I've never heard that... Do you have some references? Julia Child had a series of television shows, with very few breaks in between, from the years 1963 to 2000. IOW, from ages 51 to 88. Would you care to please name another television star or personality with that length of a run? (Johnny Carson was only on the Tonight Show for a measly 30 years!)

[PirateOfLoserville]

You'll find the article in NY Times

"Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch "

written by MICHAEL POLLAN and was Published: July 29, 2009.

[rustydog1236]

A quote from the Michael Pollan, 7-29-09 N.Y. Times article, "The BBC supposedly took The French Chef off the air because viewers wrote in complaining that Julia Child seemed either drunk or demented." Note the word 'supposedly'! Obviously Pollan is 'reporting' a rumor! Is this responsible journalism? No, and it is both unethical in itself as reportage and unfair to Julia Childs reputation and educator and early television pioneer.

[PirateOfLoserville]

I didn't draw any conclusion of the article. It was only as reference. However it was intresting reading cuz she obviously did a great deal to change many people life and cooking habits. I really can't tell because i live outside US.

[DameEleanor]

I simply adore Julia! Thank you so very much for sharing this. I had never seen it before, and I've been a huge fan for almost 40 years. Excellent!!  Is there more?

[jmatrim]

"The view we get of history we get through the kitchen window is a more gentle view , not of war and politics, but of family, community and sharing...." 1:15

Great comment.

[rustydog1236]

"Festin Joyeux" is what you order at Mickey D's in Paris when you want a Happy Meal! I knew I'd heard that phrase somewhere before...

[rustydog1236]

Jefferson's cook that he had trained was a slave.

[gbh903]

Cream, butter, eggs...all in ample quantity. How did she live to 91? People would have us believe it impossible to live to an old age on such a diet.

[petermichaelw]

excellent point, and yet with all this new "guidance" we only seem to have more problems eating "safer" things.

she is still the best

[gbh903]

Hahaha, can you believe that someone gave me a neg for my comment? why wouldn't they rebutt my statement instead?

I think the main problem with food these days is the fact that 80% of items bought from a supermarket contain corn fructose.

The beef we eat doesn't even get to eat grass as it was intended, they are fed a slurry of man made "food" and injected with growth hormone in order to reach market fatser. The same deal with chicken. Fish have high mercury content.

We are eating garbage now

[petermichaelw]

right on.

i'm against all the processing. i'll take a tablespoon of real butter over a tablespoon of whatever the "fat free fat" of the day is.

[ramona7609]

I still have my Mother's first cook book from the 1930's and I love it.

[127mscandiffio]

I simply love her and her gracious ways of communicating. A singing cookbook and cookbooks of early years "gives us a more gentle view not of war and politics but of family and community".  Horray Julia and Happy Birthday to you!!

[mikeandamina]

I always smile when I see a pic of her smile...she's so cute.

[neilerone]

She was smart, charming, and one honors her with every recipe one makes from her own book.

The singing....she is just a wonderment. God bless her....and the movie IS great.

[mikeandamina]

You forgot adorable!

[SMKWW]

Wonderful! Brava Mrs Child!

[mrkallman]

Don't you just love her? She gave us so much more than just "how to cook". More, Julia Child wanted us to discover life in its fullness! I'm so glad that her popularity is being given a boost by Julie & Julia - if you haven't seen the movie, do so!

[voicetube]

Streep does an amazing job as Julia in the new movie coming out in early Aug (saw a screening this week). Simply amazing!

[VadaMyrtle]

perfection.

[LaurenandSteveP]

Thank you for posting this wonderful video. In the days before on-line recipes, my Mom would sit & watch Julia Child and grab a pencil, a crayon...anything, and scribble these recipes - while Julia cooked - on the back of a piece of scrap paper so she could try them out at home. We tried many of them.

[ingofanfirst]

The grocery store would actually have the recipes printed, but they would fly off the rack. My mother would go to the store very early on the day they came out and would stand in line for the recipe to go with the show that week.

[maidmoira]

i have a very old cook book, from my grand father, he was in the war as ships's chef, ingenoius, how they cooked,and with what they hadand they cooked like for a zillion people, i must say the recipes sounds quite distgusting, no disrespect pa,pa,ya did what ya could, julia could have done no better

[AtLastOnTheGround]

Not only was she an excellent chef, but her personality was just so addictive. Such a fantastic woman, but she lived to a ripe old age and we miss her terribly.

[tathunen]

I absolutely love her. I can watch her show all day and not tire of it.

[pomonaridlaz]

she's an awsome chef...but ahhhhh her voice is so ahhhh!!

[9aspengold5]

Oh how I miss her shows. I grew up watching her and own most of her books.

[ribena1983]

i think Julia should be on American Idol...Great Singer haha. Your Brilliant Julia, " The Singing Cookbook, Today on the French Chef"

[MSUAdmin]

Read 'My Life in France,' it tells the story of how she found her calling at the age of 40.

She came to my school when she turned 80, first one in line to buy tickets, waited patiently for 2 months, then on the day i was deathly ill and forgot all about it!!! i might as well have died that day :)

[katiemc66]

I am actually reading that book right now. It's amazing!!

[kathkegan]

Hello MSU, I just finished the book this morning and had to come here to see and hear her a bit. The book was so much fun and I found her and her colleagues and environments so much a pleasure to peek in on!! I hated finishing it.

kkegan,phd

[ianarmitage]

she is fab! what a really eccentric lady. how fascinating!!!

[danieleriskay]

Yes, there is something so wonderful about her. She can be so serious or reverent in one moment and instantly throw in something so playful.

We are a richer nation because of her.

[ianarmitage]

she is fab!

[annesophie82]

Merci Julia! Nous vous-manquez.

[vickilaw]

Hey I remember that music from "2001: A Space Odyssey" RIP Julia - you're like a favorite aunt!

[BeatBuddy]

I remember when Julia was a guest on The Boston Pops on PBS. That was cool.

[johnnyorbit]

I love her! It makes me sad every time I think that she's gone.

[Mamasan41]

"Don't be afraid of your food!" Julia Child

( This is wonderful. I miss Julia)
