The legacy of Julia Child told in a mouth-watering documentary ‘Julia’ | Nightline 

I worked in many restaurants during college and early adulthood and nearly every chef I worked with had the highest reverance for Julia Child! She was their mentor and idol! Today it's Top Chef and Food Network idiots that come and go! But Julia remains the Gold Standard among real chefs! My own love and interest of cooking came from watching her on PBS every Saturday afternoon as a kid

Paul was very secure in himself and the two were happily married well before her fame. They valued each other tremendously!

Julia was REAL! Not filtered totally upfront! ALL the cooking shows today owe her and her husband Paul for their collaboration and genius to bring cooking to T.V. She is beyond an iconic legend, her passion translated to the people! She showed that ANYONE could cook! She never tried to be glamorous only a simple woman with a zest for life and great cuisine! She is immortal!

I love her so much. Rest in peace 🙏 in heaven. She show us so much.

The best memories of my mother were of us watching Julia and Jacques. Thank you, Julia, for keeping me close to my mother.

She is still my lovely favorite woman in the world .she will never fade away..she made the ones ahead of her famous but small in exciting.. I love her .

The Godmother of modern-day cooking and cooking shows. A true Pioneer. Simply the best.

GREAT video! There will NEVER be another cooking-with-personality icon like Julia Child! 👩‍🍳🇫🇷❤️😜

Julia Childs gifted her intact kitchen to The Smithsonian, I didn’t know it was there when I happened upon it, I was speechless to see it displayed there. During her kitchen’s disassembly, workmen even removed the plaster walls down to the studs for installation in the museum. All of her appliances, gadgets, and pots and pans are there, just as they were.

Working at Boston’s Meridien Hotel / rebranded The Langham for over 30 years I had the honor of waiting on her and her husband for over 30 years. I adored her since black and white TV in grade school. I feel very very fortunate. Thanks for this highlight video.

I loved her, she was just amazing! My sister watched from our home in NZ. In one episode she showed a gadget, explained how it worked, and then dropped it on the floor, saying “I do so hate those things”😂. I would love to see that segment again. What a inspiring and wonderful lady!

I used to watch her on PBS as a child and loved her show

Julia Child was a legend rest easy Queen of cooking

Julia and Graham Kerr and Jacque were my heroes growing up. By 6 I was in the kitchen making Crepe Suzettets at 8 and won tons by 10. 61 yrs later I am still in the cooking biz and have shared my knowledge with many and traveled the US cooking for many. Grew up in South Pasadena area so yeah !!!🤙👍✌💪🍾

I know he didn't just say she wasn't beautiful! That whole statement could have been left out 😂🤦‍♀️ she was such a lovely woman. People like me see a person's true beauty that comes from within, and that lady was full of it ❤️ one could only hope to be a legend to her level one day ❤️

Julia Child was a diver in the OAS and helped develop shark repellent. Truly a marvelous lady.

Seeing Julia Child always makes my day. She's so iconic ♥️

Sole Meunière is a culinary revelation, I agree. The simplicity belies the complexity of flavors and luxury of the meal.

Why does no one ever mention one of the greatest skills in the world that Julia had? CHARM!

My daughter won the Julia Childs Cordon Bleu scholarship in Bloomsbury London . She’s a legend .

Don't even put that hack Rachael Ray in the same sentence as Julia Child. Julia remains the absolute queen of TV cooking. I have a vintage copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and it is one of the items I'd grab if there were a fire in my home.

AND before Martha Stewart.... forever a fan of Julia!!!

I remember when I was small. I tried so many recipes. Now that I’m retired I cook so much. Today I made water pie and it is so good! I keep plugging n trying to change up all my dinners n deserts

I learned how to cook because of her books rip to the pioneer🙏🏿

Overheard her say to her husband back in the early 80's at a BIG 5 store in Santa Barbara, Ca " Halloween colors? I hate Halloween colors" lol

My God!!! the movie based on her story is amazing

It's an amazing thing to know Julia for the decades we have cooked with her. Such a sentimental journey. I feel the same about Jacques Pepin. My saddest thought about dying is I won't be able to cook my beautiful food, with my prized pots and pans and equipment!!! Boo.

Julia Child, along with my mother and father, are my inspiration for love and passion for cooking

She's a great American icon, but we were all in our enclaves eating wonderful food before she ever appeared on tv. We remember farm products, homemade noodles, immigrants coming in with wonderful recipes and ready to learn from their neighbors from other backgrounds. But Julia sure helped!

She is one of my heroes….even share the same birthday

I watched her when I was a child ❤️

My favorite memory of Julia Was when she went on Martha Stewart and they were making cream puff Christmas tree and Martha's was perfect of course & Julie's was a complete disaster She tried so hard it just made me love her more . It's better than any SNL skit

A Goddess who once was amongst us.

Lovely this was!!!💝

Julia was a game changer! Loved her, she had an amazing personality too! ❤

Love the show!❤️☺️

Really interesting documentary 👍

I love to watch her cook.

Speaking of “barrier-breaking women”, the show is named ‘Julia’ and that seems appropriate in more than one way. I remember another show with the exact same name from 1968, starring Diahane Carroll, that also broke some barriers.

Julia Child was and shall remain an American Goddess.

I miss you, Julia Child. I miss you very much!

I hadn’t heard of her until I Started watching the new HBO series on TV and think its fantastic , can’t wait for the 2nd season.

Thank you lesson

Watching Julia's cookins show is carthartic.

Julia will always be a legend!

Love her..

She was an American treasure!

RBG was amazing,I cannot wait to see Julia.

E aqui no Brasil temos a Palmirinha ☺

Apparently Paul was not impressed with Julia at first but changed his mind after spending a night with her? Oh my dear! Julia was indeed everything!

Love watching her shows on Pluto TV. Has she ever featured an African American chef or black chef on any of her shows? I would love to see if ot so! I have seen a chef from India so I know she was open to other cultures.

Meryl did a GREAT Julia Child in ‘ Julie and Julia’!😎

I loved it when she made a mistake and her attitude was "oh well, no biggie!" Fix it or start over. LOL

Now we understand the film is featured here...one of the directors is the friend of an ABC News producer! Crazy!

All Hail Public Television! Julia Child, Mister Rogers, and Sesame Street all had a huge impact on America, and the world. Just crazy.

Perfect! 🎉

Julia Child is a culinary trailblazer ❤

Julia Child was a FAR superior cook AND FAR more naturally entertaining than any of these Food Network nobodies, teaching America to cook food that tastes as good as mediocre chain food. Like most things, go watch a rerun & get higher quality than today's shows. Early Emeril was semi-legit, but it's been downhill ever since. PS don't forget Julia literally invented the genre. It did not exist until she created it! I recall as a very young child watching her shows. Sometimes I think she taught me to cook by osmosis. My Mom never let me help in the kitchen, yet when I started cooking as an adult, I was masterful at cutting everything, and just knew what to do. Bet I watched it when I was too young to know I was learning lol

Loved Julia Childs.

Awesome

Don't ever compare Rachel with Julia even. That's just a joke.

lovely

WILL these mics work with a splitter for audio when I use STARMAKER live streaming?meaning live Video & audio singing (Iphone user)

First of all, Rachel Ray is NOT a rock star chef and shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Julia Child. As Martha Stewart said "she's more an an entertainer with a bubbly personality." Julia Child was the real deal. When one cooks and studies her methods, one really learns technique and hardly ever has to look at a recipe again. We don't see much of that these days on television except on PBS.

Julia Child was fabulous! But if you really think that American cooking before she started was pathetic, then I feel sorry for you, because you didn't have a mother who could cook like mine. Her meals were AMAZING! 😊

It is not her cook , it belongs to French cook. She honored the French food.

Paul brininger favorite show on earth

Legend

Was that a young Bobby Flay in the background? Around 1:00 of the video?

When is the Julia Child show?

The best thing on PBS in the early 70s. Besides ‘’Sesame Street’’.

How quickly they forgot Dionne Lucas. So sad.

❤

I hope they do one on Madeline Kamman

Lastly Tiffany was right Today's CHEFS just show off. They do not teach methods. They just talk& entertain. THAT, is not cooking. I cooked for 30 yrs. I, would have cut off my left arm to have had her teach me. I had to learn the hard way 1000's of mistakes. My fav. was when( making fr. on soup) she showed how to hold a knife, how to use it. PRICELESS🙏

Solo in America avrebbe potuto avere successo

Still the gold standard.

What is the tool Julia Child used to flip the fish?

Secret weapons = loving intelligent husbands. Beautiful!😙 🍽📙

Julia Child, for sure, was a great performer, a skilled teacher and she loved cooking (the omelette, though..). But not a word about French cooking, French cuisine in the trailer, that 's not fair.

Tell me, since she was so ahead of her time.. and me watching these American cooking vlogging, which does NOT used her brilliant recipes, still today.. does anyone use this amazing cookbook at home over there?

These white women further polishing the legacy of a complex person into mythic infallibility. I like how they don’t talk about Child’s racism or homophobia. She was groundbreaking, entertaining, etc but not perfect

Looks like a very young Bobby Flay behind her in the photo at 1:00

An impressive person who didn't dwell on such incidentals as one's sex (unlike the American television presenters featured here).

Anyone else notice Evan Peters from AHS as a unaged chef at 6:42 😮 ? Vampire chef.

Honble UPA Chairperson Smt Soniagandhi madum please fight for to implement Ballot Paper voting system in next MP elections in 2024and to save democracy in india and public opinion in favour of Ballot Paper voting system and right to vote is fundamental right.public opinion is foundation of democracy

How about Emma Goldman Next !

I hate the way modern times tries to use everything that was every popular to try to suggest they were one with the "message". Julia was a typical housewife who liked to cook... hardly a modern feminist. If she supported planed parenthood, well likely because she lived in Cambridge and worked at PBS, practically a requirement even then.

Ironic how male chefs did not want women in the cooking profession while their mothers, wives, sisters, and many other women were most likely the person who cooked for the other family members and them until they became cooks/chefs.

Something that they didn't mention becasue it probably would have ruined the entire mood of the clip is that she was 'homophobic' (quotation mark because everyone was like that back then and the propaganda was very strong) and was criticized for not allowing gay men in the kitchen, until one of her friend lost the battle to AIDS, after which she became more sympathetic to gays. After all, people can change.

rachel ray is neither a chef, nor a rock star. She is well-known, and popular, but that is all. She is a highly skilled home cook turned Food Network gold, but she is not a chef. Not by a long, long mile. As far as rock star, well, she is not universally popular, she just isn’t. She is a sometime punchline, and not in a good way.

Cut to the chase: nothing compares to a true eccentric. Stop over analysing it

Read below ♥️💕✨🌟

Julia Child really was the great pioneer in American cookery. Before the 1920s, there were a lot of delicious ethnic cuisines in the U.S. due to the huge waves of immigrants, mostly from Europe, who came over. But as soon as the tap of immigrants was cut off in the 1920s and 1930s, the assimilationist zeal of the children of these immigrants went into overdrive and these ethnic cuisines very quickly became marginalized and forgotten, or even shameful. This was at the peak of what I call "aspic hell"--where suburban housewives were taught newfangled, "modern" recipes that for some bizarre reason were drowned in aspic, leading to tasteless dishes. It was DISGUSTING food. But it had the cache of the "modern." Then Julia Child comes along and leads a revival in ethnic cuisines, starting with the "finest" of them all--French food. She quickly revives Italian food too, then Tex-Mex and all sorts of other foods. Now we're in the middle of a food renaissance in America thanks in large part to Julia Child and the revolution she fostered.

Aww you didn’t do the brick on the lobster pot 😂😂😂

Rachel Ray hacks Mexican food. We saw the video of Mexican Mum's being horrified😂😂😂😂😂😂

Whattt even back then culanary school was a male thing i thought for sure that be female sense they were mainly stay at home moms. I didnt even know that

It's crazy how women are "supposed" to cook but they don't want you in the kitchen for money

Do we have to keep seeing Goerge, perveyor of lies? At the end of every video.
