Three servings of practical cooking advice per one serving of nostalgia is the recipe for this 18-episode culinary collector’s item. The French Chef with Julia Child, the pioneering public television series which premiered in 1962, brought French cuisine to American kitchens without a dash of pretension. Child (1912-2004), a cooking legend and cultural icon with her 6’2' commanding-yet-self-deprecating presence, leads viewers through some of her favorite and classic recipes with requisite humor and congeniality. The three-disc compilation is divided into Starters and Side Dishes; Main Courses; and Desserts and Other Classics, and includes several printable recipes from each category. In vintage black and white, the collection begins with 'The Potato Show' and Child’s sage counsel, 'When you flip anything you must have the courage of your convictions,' before she flips half of her sautéed potatoes onto the stovetop. Peppered throughout the collection are such reminders of why Child was so endearing: she let the camera roll through all her culinary disasters. In another show, 'To Roast a Chicken,' Child lines up five headless poultry as if arranging for a family photo, while earnestly discussing the differences between a fryer and a roaster, the 'full glory of its chickendom.' Even non-gourmands will find themselves captivated by such vintage entertainment, while passionate epicureans will relish step-by-step demonstrations of wonders such as boeuf bourguignon (from her debut show), salad Nicoise, bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise, and mousse au chocolat. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson

Rating:  - She is a classic
Julia Child is a classic.She started a cooking show before there was one.I was very young when this came on so only vaguely remember the shows.I learned to cook fine food from her cookbook.I liked the DVD because she is not afraid to have dead air.The show is not made as entrainment (though it is) but as enlightenment.She tells you and shows you how to prepare great food, how to find the best ingredients and do it all yourself.Bon Appétit.
Rating: - Bon appetit!!
Wow. I'm a FOODNETWORK junkie at heart, and seeing this show puts all those other wild, pretentious, and over-the-top cooking shows in their proper perspective. For my first ever Amazon purchase I chose this marvelous foray into early videotape television. Ms. Child- already 50 at the start of this series and an amazon in her own right with her 6'2" frame- gives you the direct cooking business, without giving you the business. I had seen some of her later shows on PBS in the 80s, but THE FRENCH CHEF ... Read More
Rating: - Julia Child is great!
Julia Child is a character.I grew up watching her, so it is nice to reminisce with her craziness.This set includes some black and white and shows in color.Also, there are snippets of her in France.This has been passed around my family, so we all enjoy it.Bon apetite!
Rating: - The great Julia Childs
What can one say? She was the Queen of cooking shows, and I grew up watching her on television as her show was unusual for the time. I learned to cook from her, and am greatful that her series has been preserved on DVD. Highly recommended as all of her recipes were thoroughly tested by her before even making it into her landmark cookbook "The French Chef" or her television series. She was meticulous in her testing, and having tried a number of her recipes, I can say that they are magnificent.
Rating: - The Best Cooking Secrets
Julia Child still is the best! The DVD's contain many, many of the secrets to French cooking that only can otherwise be found by purchasing many books and watching hours and hours of the Food Channel. The examples and visual images are excellent.
