As a latch key kid during this era, I often got dinner going after the bus from Jr. High let me off. I was mesmerized by this down to earth, confident woman. She taught me how to cook. I still adore tarragon. I also was inspired to aquire a rather sizeable collection of tin lined copper cookware as an adult. Nowadays, when a box arrives at my house I always tell my husband, "Julia wanted me to have this."

I wrapped it up in Christmas ribbons and put it in a black skillet in the oven…it wasn’t too long before the fire 🔥 started and my mom came running in. I wanted to be a French chef lol 😂.

Both are excellent - designed by Timo Sarpaneva in the late 50s - and are far more chic than Le Creuset et al 🇫🇮 The model Julia is using has a glossy finish; the modern ones are matte black in colour.

I loved the movie about her life and going to the cooking school in France. I can only imagine how great of a student she was at Cordon Bleu. She is still teaching people how to cook and I learned a trick tonight, the water drop method from her 1st TV episode about how to prepare a poached egg, I normally use a poaching pan, but the extra information of a different style is most helpful. I never truss a bird with string, for a chicken I use either or both toothpicks and bamboo skewers and for a turkey I have bendable aluminum pins. I think it's also important to respect Julia's mastery of the French cooking language and calling what's what. @15:54 Math School is in session, so funny

@tostamixtabifana97 10 ай бұрын

Baby or New potatoes have always been a thing but they were confined to salads. Lunch. Almost as though, like children, they were too young to be at the adult dinner table. When I trained in Cordon Bleu we we taught to shape the potatoes this way without real explanation. It was just assumed we understood how coarse and even rude a hunk of flat-sided spud was, with all its angularity! These days, I appreciate those sharp corners and how they crunch after roasting.😂

@unsq8i 10 ай бұрын

@tostamixtabifana97 10 ай бұрын

I would say people were far More conscious of waste back then. There was a hangover from the “post war” years and food shortages that the older generation sought to remind us of. There wasn’t the disposable culture we have today. Potato trimmings didn’t get wasted. In a busy kitchen there was always a use for trimmings. If not, we would freeze trimmings, peelings, bones, bacon rind etc for the eventual and inevitable stock pot. Even butter wrappers were saved to be stacked into a pan together and warmed until the tiny butter scraps melted off. Or used to put over, say, a chicken, while roasting. Wastage was scandalous!
