Or one of the reasons she is cool, one of my favorite TV Chefs....


Wait till near the end for the punch line:mug:

I still remember a scene where she poured a cup of wine into a kettle straight from the bottle. Then said, "Do you think I should have measured that?" She then took a measuring cup, closed her eyes and poured a cup of wine, exactly.
 
I grew up in the UK, so obviously I missed her TV shows. However, I have seen excerpts and clips here and there, and i have to say...I think i love her!

Can you imagine what a homebrewer she would have been!? Move over J.Z. and Palmer....Julia is taking over the brewing network! :D
 
I grew up watching Julia's show on PBS, I learned to cook from her, though I'm certainly nowhere near her league. I only found out about her WWII escapades a couple of years ago, I think she was quite a cool lady & is worthy of mention in history books. Regards, GF.
 
I was blessed to work with Julia during a taping for a cooking show.
Normally, I was a camera op or audio guy, but that day... the prep cook was sick.
Enter Shawn and his evil line cook experience.

I was prepping for the show and Julia commented on my precise knife skills.
I was freaking overwhelmed and honored.

after the prep. I fired up the audio gear and did the show. We all sat around and got toasted on wine and some Cabo Wabo Tequila from a previous episode afterwards.

Memories of a great lady. She was class. All the way.



and yes... she had a glass or three of wine during the taping, ready at all times.

she was a Goddess. :rockin:

WOW........Awesome!!!!!!!:rockin:
 
She's the reason I decided to learn to cook - well, she and Jacques Pepin on "Cooking at Home With Julia and Jacques." I loved the fact that she continued to work on TV well into her upper 80s and maybe even 90s.

Some of my favorite lines from her were
"Americans are so terrified of fat!" and "Diet food is what you eat while you're waiting for your steak to cook."

I love her shows. I always say (in my best Julia impression) ...add a little bit of buttah!

While adding 4 + tbsp of butter to something :rockin:
 
I loved watching french chef when I was a kid

@2:28 Don't forget to stir with a purple spoon
