Julia was my client for 30 years and I absolutely adored her. Except nobody called her Julia; unless you are an intimate she was Mrs Child, . She was enormously charming, somewhat quirky, and until Paul became very ill in old age, you could see that they were an adoring couple. I still miss her after all these years.
How lucky you were to have known her!!
I envy you...
@@bethotoole6569 she was just a real charmer, and what a sense of humor! It was heartbreaking when Paul developed brain damage as a result of his brain being starved of oxygen during heart surgery. People have said that Paul child had Alzheimer's disease but that was not actually the case. It was very touching to see a couple as much in love as they were after so many years.
thank you for sharing that 🫠
Thank you for that personal glimpse of Mrs Child
I'm an Australian, grew up in the 60 sand 70s. Was not aware of this divine creature until I saw the movie just recently. Now I watch her on TH-cam. She's utterly insane, I love her.
I always pictured Julia Child living around the corner from Mr. Rogers.
😂
She put olive oil in the water! No!!!
@@lauraamundson769 depends what your doing lassange noodles i would concurre.
And Bob Ross lived down the street 😂❤
to eat the children watching?
“Fingers are not part of this lasagne recipe”!! LOVE this woman :-)
Lol 😂 💜
I just caught her saying that!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love this lady❤️❤️🥰🥰
Thank you so much for spelling LASAGNE correctly. It drives me insane when most foreigners spell it ending with an A. Another mistake frequently made is calling the famous Italian marble CARRERA IT NOT. IT CARRARA and it comes from Carrara in Italy.
Dan Akaroyd SNL😂
"Very often I don't do anyhting they say on the box" hahahaha I loved this part.
Me neither Julia!
It’s also fair to note that, even as Julia Child’s cookbooks contain precise renderings of time-honored dishes, her TV show revealed a confident, casual cook who might forget the garlic or add too much cottage cheese, but who soldiered on without apologizing. Now that’s a model worth following.
This was copied and pasted from a 2019 article about the episode by Kelsey Dimberg.
Julia said never apologize. Just put it out there. Most people will not know the difference.
She was right!!
I don't agree with the oil in the water.
@@JerseyCityGirl9
I don't either however it was common practice back then. That's how I was taught to do it...
Things change.
Who doesn't love Julia Child? A national and natural treasure.
Most indeed. She’s always fun to watch and listen to. Despite her tall stature, she’s unexpectedly delicate and very dainty. A true gem.

Treasured by the World...
SMH. The comments are just too much. This is not an exact science, its food. As many grandparents and parents said use what you have on hand. Salute Julia as the real first American cook to educate people on cooking outside the box. Today's "celebrity" chefs (if you dare to call them that) make food a project and use ingredients not many have. Julia any day over any TV cooks today.
Which comments might those be, exactly? Seems to me, the ones I've read were quite complimentary of her.
I loved her so much! She had such a marvelous sense of humor, and she was not fussy at all.
When cooking shows were a true spectacle ❤❤❤
Nothing more entertaining than a wined-up Julia! 😄
My bf actually met Julia later in life several times as a college student in Santa Barbara, and when somebody asked her how she made it to her '80's, she said: "Red meat and vodka."
@@getgaymin I saw a show of her once with Jacques Pepin and when they were just about to sit down to eat together, Jacques starts pouring the wine, and she gets up, goes to the frig, takes out a beer, cracks it open, and says "Well, I prefer beer!" I laughed so hard!!
I remember seeing Robin Williams doing a wined up impersonation of her somewhere. hilarious.
Danny Aykroyd.... Save the liver!!! 😂😂😂
That's why she love living in France so much! Nobody noticed how many "samples" you imbibed.
A little more is better than a little less... words to live by ala Julia Child
Never have a guest leave hungry!
Julia was real. No fake for the camera nonsense. She was just herself, honest not a snob. It’s interesting she’s using an electric stove at a time when many chefs used gas.
Well. This is a tv set-I imagine running a gas line might have presented logistical challenges-or legal ones. I can’t imagine anything else in a studio that would run on gas…
@@sarahferrell5458 good point but they could’ve used propane or butane without using a permanent line. Fewer worries about the Co2 issues but that makes sense
@@lechatbotte. I not fed you be of the episodes I watched was sponsored by General Electric-sponsorships like that used to be very common.
I have a friend who even today has a very similar cook top, brown, with the settings part of the overhead fan. An obliging service man keeps it going. Love it.
People really need to forget today’s TH-cam videos and propel their minds backwards to the time when the television programs were aired. The available cameras and other technology dictated much, as well as the studio setup, because they were often shared spaces. Putting in gas and having to have a tank around would have been dangerous and truly unnecessary, and most Americans thought gas stoves were too dirty and “low tech;” they wanted up-to-date, clean electric _everything_ when this was filmed. Anyway, Child was such an excellent chef she could work with any situation, so a portable electric cooktop obviously didn’t bother her at all….she may have used an electric stove at home because they were so ubiquitous!
It looks absolutely delicious. Essentially she is creating a lasagna style casserole dish. People need to lighten up.
Julia is tripping if she thinks I’m just gonna whip up a whole lasagna for unexpected company 😂
I’m a chef who remains inspired by all of her tricked out and amped up flavor combinations. Can’t you just taste and smell everything she describes? Her guests were definitely not disappointed with her unique spin on lasagna! Always an adventure!
I can't explain how watching Julia makes me happy. Puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart.💗.no matter what she is cooking, I just love watching her. I have a lot of love and Respect for her. Yes I wished I could of met her, sat down shared a meal and perhaps a glass of wine.😊 I'm still learning from Julia. Her Legacy lives on. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee.✌️🕯️💕🙏🦋🌻🌠🌹🤗🥰😊🙂👋👣.
I 100% agree no airs or graces, just charming, witty down to earth and a delight to watch. Always brightens my day
She’s comforting. ☺️
Julia got LOTS of hate mail over this, believe it or not. It turns out many were disgusted by her handling of lasagna as a vehicle for leftovers, or were just offended at a French chef doing lasagna at all. They kept a form letter on file to send back, with a statement that this was not intended to be traditional authentic Italian lasagna, that cooking is about trying new ideas and combinations, and including the recipe. They never got a reply to that!
What is interesting is that, as I understand it from speaking to a coworker who is of Italian heritage and lived in Italy for a number of years, there are many variations of lasagna served throughout Italy. In southern Italy, the lasagna is more like Americans think of lasagna. In northern Italy, white sauce and other ingredients are in it. Kind of like how chili is cooked differently in the United States in different parts of the country.
Watching it, I felt the same way. She just slopped everything she could get her hands on (cottage cheese? Ugh). There was no delicacy, no finesse, and yet it was still grossly over complicated (that dance with combined canned and fresh tomatoes was a lot of work and yet a complete waste of energy).
@@nathanjustus6659but never pasta with chicken. (In fact, chicken is rarely cooked in Italy; Italians like eggs too much to kill the egg factory. Meals like chicken parmigiana are American, not Italian.)
@@jpp7783you have the slightest idea what Italian cousine is about. Chicken is eating vin mane different recipes,so is beef,pork, lam , turkey, fish, wild game ,fruits , vegetable, risotto, legumes, and much more that's meets the eye . It's called La Buona cucina gastronomica Italiana regionale.
Wow, the Italian food police have been around that long.
She does an amazing impression of Meryl Streep.
only better 😉
You gotta love Julia, she was a hoot!
Sad that Anyone would have been offended rather than attentive, entertained, and thankful for a new recipe idea ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the way she makes this without fussing about ingredients - like ladling cottage cheese on it.
Cottage cheese has a slightly different flavor from ricotta cheese but it’s not that far different. It’s like sesame tahini doesn’t have that much different of a flavor than peanut butter.
Many people would not have had access to ricotta. But everyone had cottage cheese...
@@bethotoole6569 Exactly.
I grew up watching her back then. She was great. We always had mozzarella and ricotta in the NYC area.
I about died laughing when she re-assembled the finished lasagna (replaced the slice). BRILLIANT! 😂
Lasagne.
Please start posting the original air date in the description. PBS undoubtedly has this information on the original master tapes. It’s interesting to know the time frame for these amazing classic videos.
Season 7 Episode 8 - First aired November 25, 1970
@@chrisben3 Thank you! That was the day before Thanksgiving in 1970. By the time this came on television, people were off work, or very close too it, and looking forward to a long holiday weekend. Julia probably recorded the show in September though.
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes
Probably not. She filmed in Boston at the PBS station.. I can't remember it.
It's not like today where they film a bunch of them at once. She did most of them weekly.. I had a friend who interned there for a bit.
@@bethotoole6569it was taped at WGBH.
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes Ah, so about 2 months after I was born. I got to meet Julia in about 1995 at Dayton's in Minneapolis. I told her she always remind me of my grandmother. She just looked at me and signed my cookbook.
This looks absolutely delicious.... It's an original creation. She is teaching folks to be creative and do their own thing. Go Julia!
Lasagna is the LAST thing I would consider for last moment guests! She’s so amazing. Takes me two days to make a lasagna. Steps. Certainly, most of us have a pasta sauce waiting to be made in our fridge. Spaghetti is the must have for me.. and of course good parm. She’s so much fun. Watching Julia is pure pleasure.
3 tbsp of salt looks like 3 handfuls, lol. I love it.
Hahahaha, fingers are not part. Just love her.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! The best cooking show ever!!!!!
She has an entertaining way of talking and showing.
She’s fantastic. I love Julia Childs
Child no S.
@@EricCarver-ud8wz oops thanks !
I would never think of lasagna as an impromptu meal when guests show up unannounced.
Well she did say she had several hours warning.
Pre mobile phones and email how wonderful that must have been 😊
I live in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. Very few places make Lasagna every day
best i could do is order pizza in a situation like that lol
Today with spaghetti sauce bottled noodles that cook at the same time it's baking, it can be done rather quickly, , but I didn't know really what lasagna was until the later 70s
People don't realize that the fruits and vegetables that we eat today are quite different from older days. Yesterday's tomatoes had seeds that were bitter with tough skins. Carrot skins were bitter and needed to be removed. Today's fruits and vegetables have been modified to eliminate bitterness and toughness. And BTW, that doesn't make them GMO!
Even modern tomato skins will make your tomato sauce very bitter when they cook down. That’s why recipes usually call for canned tomatoes to skip the blanching process.
It’s more like a one pot leftovers dish than lasagna but I’ll definitely give it a try. Her nonchalance might help me to rediscover the fun in cooking.
The spaghetti laundry 😂😂😂
im concerned
I feel like my cooking standards are like Mrs Childs, it's not perfect in the process but my kids and hubby love my cooking, it's not a top star chefs way but it gets done and makes my family happy. I had family members who watch me chop onions and tell me, you are doing it wrong. Like who cares, my family are being fed tonight and they dont care
As an Englishman , i love the way she pronounces tomato !
Julia was born and raised in Southern California, traveled extensively with her husband Paul during WWII including France, then set up domestic life with him in Cambridge Massachusetts.
As an Australian, I agree,
I love how she calls out the things she would change next time. She was so amazing, but so relatable. Amazing woman and chef.
I learned how to cook watching Julia Child and from her first cookbook which I still use. She is the greatest.
Just by the way she handle the knives you know she is a real cook.
She also doesn't know what a lasagna is
@@Maysoon3121She’s dead, she doesn’t care. Neither should you. Good lord.
Something I loved hearing about this show is that when she had food scraps she would scrape it onto the floor, and then later on they would clean it up after the show because there are no breaks in the show they just kept filming, idk how true that is but it sounds about right.
Love her. Watched her as teen. Wonderful to watch these again. ❤
Delicious and creative. She’s doing her own version of lasagna and stated that it wasn’t Italian and that the French take recipes from different cultures and make it their own.
I love her to pieces and always will! Dearest friend and mentor of my youth.
I love that on any episode when she pulled something from the oven and looked at it she would smile. I miss her. 👍🏼
‘This is a peasant dish’ - the ultimate get out of jail for sloppy slicing! 😜
She's scary handling knives. 😨🤡
@@aprilcraddock169 I guess you are not used to seeing skilled cooks with good knife skills.
Julia was " first in her class in onion chopping skills."
As seen in the movie, Julie and Julia.
I just made a tomato sauce for a chicken pizzaiolo. I used a 28 ounce can of peeled plum. I didn't puree them but instead, and admittedly, more effort, I used shears to snip up the tomatoes, making a very textured sauce. A food mill is something that I may incorporate one day.
And what is peeled plum😢
@@antohong Peeled plum tomatoes. 🍅
I like the baking pan she used. Making these big tall lasagnes creates problems, if it's too hot all the filling shoots out, you struggle to cut it in a nice cube shape, sometimes it's watery, etc. It feels more rustic how she handled it.
See I feel opposite. This just looks like a sloppy mess. Your supposed to wait about 45 min let it cool before cutting to make sure it stays together and doesn't become. A mess. That could be the issue u may be having with the taller casserole dish 🤷
I can't wait for it to cool enough to be pretty. A tasty, sloppy mess is just fine for the first meal of it. Next day I can enjoy the layers... before I cut the piece into three in order to reheat in the microwave lol
@@TDAEON 🤣🤣 true enough
Her show, unlike her books, was delightfully chaotic.
Julia was a great chef and very entertaining here in NZ during the late 70's and early 80's. Loved her accent and her rustic way of pulling a chicken apart. Bravo
No specifics. Stunning.
A cultural treasure!
I miss you Julia, like I miss mama...
Love You Julia ! ! !
I've never seen a lasagne heaped up.... I'm soo inspired.
She is so authentic in a good way. Paved the way for food streamers of today. She used cottage cheese rather than that Italian cheese, ricotta, that she couldn't remember what the name of it was.
Nobody EVER has unexpected guests that will have even one course. But I love anything she says no matter what. She's the voice of courage to cook of my childhood!
At the time, I think this did happen most certainly in Europe as not that many people had phones at home yet.
This was and, in some old fashioned environments, still is something that happens. It is pretty usual for older maids and grannies to have some concoction ready to feed unprevented guests.
Yes ,unexpected guest do happen. I had three hour warning time and I like Julia made lasagna. Not her lasagna but a more Italian lasagna.
I loved watching Julia Child growing up
hello , julia was such a treasure💯💯💯💯.........i watched her ever since , i was a young teen . RIP , she is much missed❤❤❤❤❤. great share thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.............
Authentic Wonderful Chef, loved her so much. Now 2024 I'll be trying this
What a wonderful woman. ❤❤❤ I definitely want to try this recipe.
Je l'adore !! Elle est géniale !
Amazing to see the TV cameras on screen in these episodes. Good thing she doesn't bump into them.
Where????
@@handsoffmycactus2958 Sorry I'd have to look through the episode again. I think it's somewhere in the middle of the show if not towards the end.
So enjoyable. I wish there was someplace to find Dinner at Julia's. I really liked that show.
Contact PBS. They may have trove of JC reruns for sale. Also JC may have a website.
Love julia child so much loved watching the movie Julia and julie too inspired by her loving cooking too so much lovr you Julia child 💖💖🌹🌹💖 for your delicious dinner and dessert 🎂🎂 ideas
Enjoyed Julia learned so much from her
Magical ❤ absolutely love this! 😂
Wow all that energy😊love it I adored her as a kid growing up in Detroit
I loved that she did a Buon Appetito! Glorious! 😍
In Italian, it's buono appetito
I want to go back in time. She was my comfort tv watching in the '70's and '80's when I was a kid.
I agree.
Looks absolutely delicious 😋
Lol ! Love the "...spaghetti laundry..." ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful !
She is the best. A force of nature.
I once met Mrs. Child about 30 years ago, when I was on Mt. Auburn Street in Cambridge, MA. Her home was near there, I later found out. WGBH, the public station that aired her show is only a couple of miles away.
That day, I was walking towards Harvard Square, when, in the corner of my eye, I see someone across the street walking in the same direction. I look at the person, and I see someone tall, walking briskly, wearing these ugly green suede sneakers. My gaze goes up from her shoes to her face, and my eyes grew big as I notice that the person is Julia Child! I walked across the street, and asked her if she were THE Julia Child, and she replied, “yes.” And, I think she asked me if I like to cook. I don’t remember what I said in response. I wanted to keep talking to her, but my conscience told me to give her space because she probably got bothered by people a hundred times a day. My encounter with her was so brief, I’d hardly even call it an encounter, but that tiny moment of time I spoke with her, her charming personality shined through. What I wouldn’t do to go back in time to resume that conversation with her!
This was crazy.... crazy good 😆
I used to make an excellent chicken lasagna back when I was a teenager in the late 80’s. I should try it again - inspired by Julia and the French. And yikes, the Italian mafia is gonna get mad but I’m going to bake it in my cast iron skillet. I remember watching her show on PBS back when I was a kid. Also loved her show with Jacques Pepin later on in her career.
Love the way she de-seeds tohmahto
Heavens! I've got so much to do today! 🥰
Shes cool, doesn't be anyone but herself. Love it ❤
I remember watching Julia Child’s show from the beginning😏I also have a signed cookbook from her, She is truly a treasure. I don't remember how many times I've seen this lasagna episode but each time is hilarious.
The same people that are offended that it’s not a classic lasagna are the one going to eat French toast ,French dip, burritos and They even serve Caesar salad in Italy which is a Mexican salad.
I love making lasagna. Thanks Julia.
I have to do a big Mea Culpa. I'm a great fan of Julia Child, but never saw this episode. Anyway, I've lived in France for too many years to decently reveal here, and I've always sneered at their version of Lasagna, thinking that it was one of those fads from the 80's. Well, "au temps pour moi"! (And I have to admit that I used to make it here for my daughter when she was little; it was a great way to sneak spinach into her. 😅)
Love how she just throws all the unwanted bits into the floor 😂
No she didn’t! There was clearly a garbage can there.
That's her crew down there with a trash can.
@@Isabella-nd3rqit’s called a bin, far easier to say. Why would you call it anything else ? Weird
@@511pearlit’s called a bin mate
@@handsoffmycactus2958We call it a trash can in the U.S.
I am excited to see what she is going to teach me!❤
I'm always amazed how she could do a half-hour show in one take. (Some shows had a two minute separate take at the end in the dining room.)
What an amazing woman!!
❤Lovely❤Iconic❤love from Finland❤❤❤❤
"This lasagna will serve 8 people." Not in my house! With 3 adolescent boys and an always-hungry husband, this is just enough.
Delicious looking.
Fabulous 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great chef
looks delicious oh my god 🍴🤤🤤
This is interesting but I usually cover it in foil so that it heats all the way through and then remove the cover and put the cheese on about the last 10-12 min. What do you think?
I think you should do it works for you. There aren’t any hard and fast rules especially with a dish like this. As Julia points out🎉
I never cover my lasagna with foil but this is something my mom always did
Ive actually never watched Mrs Child before but I knew of her, of course. Im glad I stopped and watched this video. I did watch the movie Julie Julia and I think Meryl Streep did a wonderful job portraying her, tell me if Im wrong! I love Mrs Childs quirkiness ❤
I'm exhausted just watching the master Julia. She was a hoot.
I'll try this recipe.
Heavens!
This is so funny !
