The French Chef

If you haven't had a chance yet, take some time and check out Julia Child's The French Chef reruns on The Cooking Channel. It really is a treat to see Julia work her magic on all kinds of things from a Cake with a Halo, to Lasagna a la Francaise, to a very interesting hamburger concoction (I can't find this recipe online - it was very interesting, consisting of oysters for the first course, hamburger and rice with onions and crepes). Of course, with the food, another joy is Julia herself. Each episode was filmed start to finish in one take, so sometimes she makes mistakes. It's nothing like today's over-edited shows, this one is just as it is - problems or not. It's a refreshing experience!
