I hope you don't make it like she does in the video cause that is definitely not Boeuf Bourguignon. And I'm telling you that as a french who loves cooking.... We 've always seen Julia's cookbooks as an insult to the french cuisine as it is absolutely not accurate.
BTW : 2.5 hours for a bourguignon is a joke. Count 4 hours at least, the day before you eat it. You don't eat Bourguignon the day you cook it. Like pretty much all the french dishes
@@lexcorpone I don't use a dish in the oven. I cook it on the stove. but also.. Yes the woman who spent years living in France and went to a French cooking school in France got everything horribly wrong.... sure. Food should be enjoyed. Not everyone needs to have a stick up their ass about everything. I'm sure I could find a lot of French people who both agree and disagree with you. There is no definitive right way to cook a dish as long as the basic structure is followed. Are you also forgetting she had two other women who were French co-authoring the book for more recipes/accuracy?
@@quinton50h haha, you see, the basics isn't followed as the time is wrong, the order is wrong (the meat must go in the wine, raw, not colored). But yes, in France Julia is used as a metaphore to describe someone who doesn't know how to cook properly, even on TV in shows like MasterChef. What is sad is that she did go to cooking school in France, but she obvisouly didn't manage to get most of it. But as a Frenchman who has lived in the US for 3 years, I was chocked by how bad the food was. Even more when people used to tell me "I love cooking". But hey, what could I expect ? America is definitely know all around the world as a not foody country
@@lexcorpone so I take it every French person is 100% perfect in cooking? Nobody over there makes mistakes? Nobody over there deviates from a recipe? French people shouldn’t take themselves so seriously.
I’ve made it the Julia Child way, which takes a while but is worth the wait, and The Barefoot Contessa way, which takes less time and tastes just as good.
I have to say, Julie's husband (while being a good person, and the actor playing the role I assume is a decent human) is the most annoying character I've seen in a movie. He just talks with his mouth full the entire movie. I get they want to show he likes the food, but good god does it get old. At least he doesn't make the smack sound when eating.
+Messylin Julia Child was not a shy, retiring person. she had a very strong personality. and Julie's friend acknowledged that she was a bitch. I think it was intentional.
Because she burned it the first time. She had to do it all over again, but then, the distinguished guest couldn't make it and this is where Eric tasted it and found it bland.
