    I Remember watching her program while i sat beneath the ironig board and my Momma ironed clothes! Our table top tv did not receive the channel well. 1965 or 66. Mom incorporated tips into her own Southern style cooking.
    My, oh my! She was definitely correct about homemade mayonnaise! I thought my mother's was the absolute best. She'd bemoan running out of the jarred kind and fall back on her homemade version for salads.
    Two of my cooking idols. Mom & Julia!!!

      If you ever get a chance to eat at an Italian restaurant, then Italians have a salad called Condiglione which is very similar to Salade Nicoise. There is a big overlap between southern French and northern Italian cooking.

    How can you not love this lady - making homemade mayonnaise at a time when most people outside of France would just go to the store and buy a jar of it. And Salad Nicoise, one of my favorite classic dishes but rarely seen today. I could destroy half of that salad with some crusty rustic bread and butter and a chilled bottle of Picpoul - and a nap!

    This might sound rather silly but, when the mayonnaise is being made, close your eyes and simply listen to what is going on. I swear I can tell when the mayo is thickened by the sound it makes against the bowl; it goes from a sloshing sound to something like a thumping sound.

    I was going to make a joke about how this recipe has no butter but... it's so reductive in the face of Child's amazing contribution to everything we eat.
    That said I can't believe there's not half a pound of butter.

      The 1963-66 incarnation of French Chef was shot in B&W. The show didn't go into color production until it returned in 1970. BTW - PBS was behind the other networks when it came to switching to color. One website credits "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" as being perhaps the last network show on the air to switch to color, and that happened in 1969.

    I'm French (eh ouais les puces 😁) and the vinegar for the mayonnaise, never saw it in my family. It is maybe a stuff of French Parisian chefs but Paris is not France. (I'm from the country of the great castles) and know well Normandie and the Midi. So vinegar no. Mayonnaise is doable only with mustard and yoke. Drop by drop and then more.
