I'm watching Julia Childs on PBS

What is a good recipe of hers you like?

She is awesome, subtle and hilarious. Her concept was don't be afraid to try, improvising is great and cooking can be fun, not just a chore! :-)

More than any one recipe, I loved her "It's OK, don't worry about it," attitude.  She carried it off with a comforting humor. It helped to instill confidence in me, and I'm sure in many others.

- I recall her dropping a chicken, or a huge fish, on the floor. They didn't stop taping, and re-do it. She just picked it up, saying that it hadn't been cooked, yet. "These things happen."

- When crumbs from a chocolate cake appeared during icing, she sprinkled chocolate powder all over it. "No one will care."

She was also innovative.  

- She pulled out a blow-torch to caramelize/color something ... which I thought was very funny. Now, small torches are available as kitchen utensils.

- She drizzled a cooling, thick syrup over a broomstick, laid between the backs of two chairs, to create "moss," on a Yule log.  And, she did it, again, over an inflated balloon. When the syrup hardened, she popped the balloon, and had a sugar "cage" to put over the dessert that she was making.

Especially fun when teamed with her friend Jacques Pepin

Their "feud" of white vs black pepper was LOL worthy.

In case someone hasn't seen this.

She was wholesome & funny. She made me laugh when her oven mitt caught on fire. And she just sort of went oh my....

I think she was all about French cuisine.  I doubt she was more likely to bbq on television than at home.  I used to watch her.  Still do when I want a French recipe.  I have tried her recipes including my favorite of hers, beouf bourguignon, which I made once for company and it did not fail to please.  I served it in crepes, though, unlike the recipe called for, because I had had it that way in a French restaurant once and that is my favorite version.  

"'Butter' if you're not sure, add more", Julia Childs. French cuisine is fun for all, just try.
