Julia is the best there ever was!

"I'm sorry, but I cannot see the appeal of current Julia wannabes like Giada, Nigella, Rachel, etc. Julia was the best at her craft - she knew how to do it and do it right and in a way that appealed to the average wife/mother/womnan-on-the-go. Certainly Julia was the catalyst for the current crop of celebrity chefs; however, there was an openess with Julia that radiates through her shows; unlike someone like Ina Garten, who just leaves me feeling cold and distant. So, foodies, enjoy your uppity celebs who happen to cook - I'll keep my Julia, simply because she was the best!"
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

"Watching Julia make her recipes is both instructional as well as hilarious at times. There was no one like her. She so enjoyed cooking, and makes it fun. Highly recommended, and you'll come out with some great meals. BUY IT and watch it with another foodie that you know."
Terrific DVD

"I had no idea how really gifted Julia Child was as a chef until I watched this DVD of her technique. It was so inspirational watching her make croissants from scratch and soufflés. All of her recipes are rendered with such charm, making this disc irresistible. She really does make people want to learn not only how to cook but how to cook better. I recall my Mom watching her back in the 70's and feverishly writing down her recipes so she could try them out on us. They were always so delicious. No wonder I thought my Mom was the greatest cook; she was imitating Julia Child week after week.
Thanks, Julia. You've made the culinary world more understandable for the average person and much more enjoyable."
An absolute must for every kitchen
