    Julia Child did not get the respect she deserved until late in her life. She embarked on her own culinary discovery, a passion she shared with the world. I watched the "French Chef" as a child, was enthralled by the foods she created, as well as her hilarious mistakes. One of a kind, Julia was an inspiration to us all, showing we could create masterpieces of delightful foods in our own homes.

I adored a particular chicken meal, but I had no idea what it was. Later in life, I enjoyed watching Julia Child and I borrowed one of her books from the library.

I was able to deglaze the hot sheet pan and pour the yield directly into a little skillet. I didn't even bother adding anything to it as it was just delicious as is.

And we always usually have buttered boiled potatoes, and whatever vegetable was in season. And the hamburgers were real hamburgers, too. Hamburger, eggs, breadcrumbs, herbs, salt and pepper. Nice, fat and juicy. A couple of those plus the boiled buttered potatoes filled you up.

    I once got within about 200 feet of Julia, who was at the Statler (hotel school) at Cornell University signing copies of her book THE WAY TO COOK. I was riding the city bus home from work, spotted a rather poshly dressed yuppie gal making her way into the building for her own encounter with Julia and then, even though I had the $50 to purchase the book on the spot, I backed out and continued on home instead, feeling rather inapropriately underdressed for the occasion and not being a posh yuppie at all. Reruns of Julia's THE FRENCH CHEF on PBS had helped me through a long and difficult illness, and I think that was my main reason for wanting to see her in person--to say thank you to her. Julia's gift on television and apparently also in person was to win you over effortlessly and make you feel that you knew her as a treasured and old friend. She's a standout gem of her generation and I'm sorry now that I didn't actually get to meet her.

      Burgers are only truly safe to eat when they're cooked right through. Even the best meat can harbour a host of nasty bacteria on its surface. That is why it's perfectly fine to eat a rare piece of steak because the bacteria on the outside of the steak is killed with the heat. With minced meat, each tiny piece can be covered with bacteria which stays alive unless it's cooked through.

    I make Julia's mushroom rice frequently and it's wonderful. But I don't ever seem to get much liquid out of squeezing the minced mushrooms.
    I have an alternative; I just sauté without squeezing them. In a minute or less, the mushrooms will leak out all their liquid in the pan. I tip the pan and spoon it out, reserve it and continue the sauté until the mushroom bits no longer stick to each other, about 4 minutes total. The mushroom liquid then is used as additional flavoring in the rice.

    FYI: As a person who has always been prone to burns while cooking I have some advice that works perfectly. 💕
    If you burn yourself while cooking immediately, immediately douse the burn with vinegar. Any vinegar will do and for some reason vinegar STOPS the burn from penetrating layers of skin. Butter doesn't work, cold water doesn't work but vinegar will do the trick. If you have a really intense burn, pour vinegar on the burn site then heavily doused a square of paper towel with the vinegar and hold it on the area until it doesn't burn anymore. Works like a dream.

      Mustard works too and isn’t as runny.

    I like that you cooked the burgers fully. Looks good.

    That is an absurd amount of salt in the ground beef, I hate leaving a restaurant and being so thirsty it feels like I have been in the Gobi Desert for a week

    I usually go for beef kofte instead of burgers but this looks like an excellent alternative. I had never considered replacing suet with lard in the burger!

    It’s nice to see someone cook meat that doesn’t look like it’s still in the process of bleeding to death.

    One tip is to use some gelatine in it, even if you overcook it it will still be juicy. Do so for meatballs as well

    In my family this was a hamburger steak ( an evening meal). A hamburger came wrapped in a bun. But this hamburger steak or hamburger looks delicious. Served to me as a hamburger I ain’t arguing semantics.

    I'm not interested in cooking myself, but I like to watch pro and amateur chefs do it. I believe that anyone having the ambition to become an above average chef (pro or home variety) should just start preparing as many Julia Child recipes from that book as possible after mastering some basic cooking skills.

    Hello! I just found your channel today and credit is due to you. Loved the filming of the video, music background, and how you just throw that butter in the pan. Take that Butter! Thank you!

    One thing I found out with mushrooms if they're rubbery they're under cooked. They're the opposite of some foods which if you over cook they're rubber.
