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 crêpes and braised goose, to breads and desserts like croissants and the exotic gâteau 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 soufflé 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 pâté, 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 Horiuchi

Julia is the best there ever was! April 29, 2010

I'm sorry, but I cannot see the appeal of current Julia wannabes like Giada, Nigella, Rachel, etc. Julia was the best at her craft - she knew how to do it and do it right and in a way that appealed to the average wife/mother/womnan-on-the-go. Certainly Julia was the catalyst for the current crop of celebrity chefs; however, there was an openess with Julia that radiates through her shows; unlike someone like Ina Garten, who just leaves me feeling cold and distant. So, foodies, enjoy your uppity celebs who happen to cook - I'll keep my Julia, simply because she was the best!

Have seen the movie Julie and Julia at least four times, read my life in france and julia's biography. The next step was to rewatch her TV program which I did see when I was little. Interesting and fun to watch. My friends have borrowed it to watch as well. The chefs of today really evolved from what Julia started. Rachel Ray, Martha salt over the shoulder, Julia, unsalted butter Julia, techniques shown us now on TV from Julia. Food Network really came from her. Enjoy the shows and order them today.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! March 8, 2010

Watching Julia make her recipes is both instructional as well as hilarious at times. There was no one like her. She so enjoyed cooking, and makes it fun. Highly recommended, and you'll come out with some great meals. BUY IT and watch it with another foodie that you know.
Terrific DVD January 31, 2010

I had no idea how really gifted Julia Child was as a chef until I watched this DVD of her technique. It was so inspirational watching her make croissants from scratch and soufflés. All of her recipes are rendered with such charm, making this disc irresistible. She really does make people want to learn not only how to cook but how to cook better. I recall my Mom watching her back in the 70's and feverishly writing down her recipes so she could try them out on us. They were always so delicious. No wonder I thought my Mom was the greatest cook; she was imitating Julia Child week after week.
Thanks, Julia. You've made the culinary world more understandable for the average person and much more enjoyable.
