There have never been greater ambassadors to the cooking industry than Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. For those that are home cooks, the great teaching skills and talents of Jacques Pepin are unmatched, and he is still one of the most skilled and knowledgeable chefs in the world. He's still a teaching professor at one of the best cooking schools in the U.S. His humble, laid back and respectful personality mixes like a great wine to french bread to Julia's large and jovial personality. They have a fantastic chemistry that makes you think you are there enjoying them.
No one has done more for cooking than Julia Child. This DVD allows us to see the best in her passion and knowledge of cooking which makes even you and me want to try her great recipes.
They cook on this show like we should; with proper techniques, and a straight forward way which is rarely seen in todays TV shows. They use no real recipes; they are just so talented that they show us that we shouldn't be hindered to recipes as long as we use basic and proper techniques, and they encourage us to be adventurous.
With today's avg. at best chefs on the food network getting popular more due to catch phrases and cute smiles and bubbly personalities, Julia and Jacques prove that any of us can have fun and share our passion for cooking.
