Title: It began with Julia--
Review: --cooking instruction on television, that is. It is interesting to compare the episodes of _The French Chef_ with the present-day productions of the cable television networks. My, things have changed: some things for the better and others not so much so. One thing that really stands out is that these episodes are preserved as their original, live presentations. There are no retakes, even when the recipe does not turn out as intended, or Julia loses her train of thought or makes mistakes. You don't see that kind of real life cooking today, but I think that adds to her charm. For me, it makes her seem more authentic; that you are seeing her as she really is (or was).I own both this DVD set and the first. It seems that not all of the episodes are present; perhaps some have been lost. I would very much like to see that one that Julia mentions where she demonstrates how to make pate-a-choux.
