  • Julia Child showcases zucchini -- a vegetable that’s always with us. Here’s how to turn it into several dishes, and how to make a handsome vegetable boat out of the giant zucchini that grew in your garden. Zucchini takes well to being sauteed with onions, baked with a zesty cheese sauce, blended in a green vegetable soup or used as containers.

    It's so impressive how she recorded these shows 'as live', and spoke off the cuff (at least, clearly without any autocue). Her occasional stumbles and over-long pauses are charmingly natural and spontaneous.
    People loved Julia Child for her great talent, her enthusiasm, and perhaps above all, her authenticity. People talk today about living as one's true self, but have absolutely no idea what that means! Julia is the ultimate example of a genuine human being, true to her bones and comfortable in her own skin.
    Oh to have been a guest at one of her dinner parties!

    Julia was a force of nature. I always appreciated her grammatical
    correctness. Her accent is rather surprising, as she grew up in Pasadena, California. Her parental influence, perhaps? Anyway, love you no nonsense Julia! ;)

    You always miss one of those zucchinis when you are harvesting them. Usually it's one in the middle of the plant. Zucchini plants grow 8 feet wide or larger and they have annoying little spines on the branches. So you see that giant one growing but it's hard to get to it. So you wait until the plant reaches its end-of-life, cut up that giant one in several large pieces and bury them in a row for next year's crop.

      Ina is too busy being pretentious in the Hamptons to reach the kind of audience Julia reached, because Julia made what was considered high quality, elegant food accessible to all. She invited us to sit at the table. Ina just wants us to watch her eat and envy her friends

    You know what strikes me? She doesn't actually look like some highly professional chef (not to mention FRENCH professional chef, where French is referred to cuisine). I mean, I have a better cooking skills in terms of chopping, dicing, carving and what's not - and I can assure you, I'm less than average. So, what does it mean? It means that we've been educated for all these years - especially with UA-cam cooking videos. But what's her actual tremendous contribution to that story - is the push she gave all of non-Europeans to start looking into French cuisine and getting to loving it.
    But, yeah, she has tremendous knowledge about that field. I bet that’s what actually made her so famous - and rightly so.
    And she is wonderful on camera! I’m sure none of those shows were scripted. And yet she is talking so eloquently.

    Definitely not my favorite of hers. In fact, I wouldn't recommend any of these approaches. Zucchini is best sautéed with garlic, oregano and a little thyme. Celebrate the vegetable of abundance in Summer, don't mask it in butter and cream. And for the love of all things dear, DO NOT boil squash. Odd how she often criticized English cooking methods and yet...

    • @postmodernrecycler
      @postmodernrecycler 2 місяці тому +1

      I believe she sauteed and gratinée'd everything here--no boiling--except for the large zucchini that was only meant for presentation.
