Have you tried any of Julia Child's recipes before? Oh boy, I’ve been smitten with her for a while now and I treat her cookbook like something incredibly precious in my kitchen. So you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon those 1963 photos of her on the set of The French Chef and those behind the scenes trying out recipes. You can totally feel her wittiness and humour there, can’t you? It was during one of those tapings when the infamous potato pancake fail occurred. Eek, she totally handled it like a pro! Are you Julia’s fan? xo
P.S: Here is her in action making the famous boeuf bourguignon and here she is making hamburgers on David Letterman.
P.P.S: Also, here is her garlic tip and my favourite poached egg trick.

Whenever I see photos of Julia I can not help but feel so happy. For me she is the best of best and her boeuf bourguignon is one of my all time favorite dishes to make. Love, Amy.
Amy, I feel the same way. I love watching her little clips on youtube. So brilliant!
Awesome testimony! :) Thanks for sharing! Hope you are ok in NYC...!?!?!?
Those photos are wonderful. I'm a forever fan of Julia's. Her delightful quips and can do attitude are so endearing.
I adore what you said about Julia, Mills! Totally with you on that.
She is one of my faves...that first photo is so great, too! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love Julia Child. She is such a real, humbling and magnificent inspiration... Her memoir, My Life in France is definitely one of the best books I"ve ever read! Great pictures, and great post!
