Cooking legend and cultural icon Julia Child, along with her pioneering public television series, The French Chef, introduced French cuisine to American kitchens. In her passionate and sometimes breathless way, Julia forever changed the way we cook, eat, and think about food.
Entertaining, fun, and real in a way that influenced every television cooking program that followed, The French Chef embraced Julia's passion for food and teaching and reflected her joie de vivre: "If I can do it, you can do it...and here’s how to do it!"
Now chefs of all ages and abilities can share Julia's love of fine French food and learn to cook some of her most-loved dishes with this special collection of 18 episodes from her original series, The French Chef, which began in 1962. In her signature style and with bloopers intact, Julia demonstrates such classic recipes as boeuf bourguignon from her debut show, salade Nicoise, bouillabaisse a la Marseillaise, mousseline au chocolat, and many more delicious dishes.
Bon appetit!

"...what sets The French Chef apart from being just another cooking show is Child's exuberance; she was a real character, beloved for her sherry-sipping, and the series preserves her eccentricities as well as her expertise. . . . Highly recommended." -- Video Librarian
"Child's perennial popularity coupled with the reasonable price make this the perfect fit for cookery collections." -- Booklist
