Julia Child "The French Chef" 10-DVD set July 17, 2010

First things first: This is actually a NINE (9) disc set, because the separate single disc included with this set (Julia & Paul's history) is actually already included in one of the 3-disc packages. Not a problem - I am gifting it!
I do NOT know how to cook. I inquired at our local vocational school to take a "prep" class (to learn how to cut food but NOT my fingers), but it was extremely expensive. The movie "Julie & Julia" sparked my interest in finding out more about Julia Child. My husband and I compromised by ordering these DVD's.
Well, I am proud to say that not only have I cooked the chicken "stew" (coco van/friccasse - spelling?) but I am not as "scared" to cook anymore.
I wish I had met Ms. Child while she was still alive. These DVD's really show her humor and ability to make mistakes and not take them seriously. She is ALWAYS smiling, speaking exactly what is going on in her brain as she is preparing any of the dishes, and overall just a great instructor.
Some of the episodes are in black & white, and some are in color. They are the original episodes, so it just depends on when they were originally shot.
I may not cook my way through both volumes of her cookbook, but my husband will be coming home to some yummy food.
I highly recommend this DVD set. Bon appétit!

I was a young teenager when Julia Child first appeared on TV in the early 1960s. I had always enjoyed cooking even as a child, but Julia introduced me to a world I could never have imagined from my mother's kitchen. She introduced me to real, serious, good food and cooking and thereby enhanced all the rest of my life. I bought this series just to watch again and refresh my memory. I consider her one of my most positive and lasting influences, someone whose teaching and especially attitude toward food I apply nearly every day in my own kitchen. I still have my copy of her first edition Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and the recipes are still wonderful, even if I adjust them a little to reduce the fat.
