She has caused me to lose my fear of trying new techniques, cookware, and out-of-the-ordinary (for me) recipes (that really are quite simple) and inspired me to move out of my box. For example, I tried her whirlpool method for poaching eggs -- my egg turned out perfectly and it was fun to do and watch. My attempt at my first omelet ever wasn't as successful -- they became scrambled eggs, but I will try again. Her shows (and cookbooks) are full of simple, helpful tips, excellent information, and grand humor. It's very obvious that she loves to cook -- and teach. I'll be sad when I've watched to final DVD.

Love Julia Child, she's the best chef on TV ever. When I was just out of school eons ago JC was on the TV and I used to watch her every day and still would if she was still on-great memory and that's how I learned to cook...

Nobody is quite like Julia. These are little treasures full of great advice, despite the fact that cooking and favored ingredients have evolved considerably since these shows.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF JULIA CHILD, OR JUST OF COOKING, YOU WILL LOVE THIS LATEST COMPILATION OF JULIA'S PBS SHOWS FROM THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES. AS WITH THE FIRST EDITION, THIS THREE-DVD DISC SET SHOWS CHILD IN HER EARLIER BLACK AND WHITE INCARNATION, PROVIDING SIMPLE TIPS FOR PREPARING BASIC DISHES SUCH AS OMELETTES AND CREPES, TO HER MORE GLORIOUS COLOR DAYS, WHEN HER SHOWS ABOUNDED WITH WIT AND ENTHUSIASM. ALONG THE WAY, YOU WILL ALSO GAIN A GLIMPSE OF MS. CHILD'S LOVE OF FOR THE FRENCH, AS SHE TAKES YOU ON A SHOPPING TOUR THROUGHOUT PARIS. I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE SHOWS WHEN THEY FIRST AIRED, AND I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT THIRTY YEARS LATER, THEY STILL HOLD THEIR INITIAL APPEAL AND BUOYANT FUN!
