The Best from the Best!
Jacques and Julia, both world-famous chefs, make gourmet cooking seem easy--even to someone as untelented in the kitchen as I! They work so well together as a team, showing special techniques--each preparing dishes in several ways. Julia was quite elderly at the time of this taping, and I was so impressed at the gentle manner Jacques exhibited with Julia. One warning--be prepared to sit for the entire program because you will become very, very involved!

my two favorite chefs, at what they're doing best...
I miss Julia Child. That duo with Pepin was a top finale for her. Jacques Pepin by himself lacks something, this and the serie with his daughter Claudine were my favorite of him. It's still sheer pleasure to watch these two, do real, but simple cuisine, enjoying each other's company and tasting each other's cooking. One more formal approach (typically Julia) and one more adaptive approach (Jacques) on the same topic.
Something I want to eat and cook myself, and they are just enjoyable to watch.

Scrumptious
Simply a must for a fan of either Julia or Jacques. Two very experienced and very different viewpoints on some classic dishes. A great foundation for good eating. We got the book shortly after we had seen some of the series on PBS and had not seen all episodes. After reading and trying many of the recipes, we decided to acquire the DVD. Classic Jacques and Julia.
