It's actually really easy to poach an egg. Get a saucepan and fill it with about two inches of water, a few splashes of vinegar to make sure the whites don't float around, let it simmer (tiny bubbles not big), get a cold egg and put it in a small bowl and when it's simmering gently pour the egg in the water. Put a lid on it and wait 3 minutes and boom! Poached egg, bon apetit!
My favorite scene is when she messes up a dish and as she throws it in the trash she says “ the bitch lied”. Just because you have the recipe in a cookbook does not mean you will cook it right the first time! Everyone messes up! That is comforting while watching all these tv chefs making cooking look soooooooo easy.
I’ve never seen this movie in full, but it’s very comforting for some reason. The French onion soup they were making looks delicious, also the raspberry cream
My Dad passed away a couple of months ago, and I know that I'll think of him every time I watch the cooking scenes and the scenes with Julia Child in this movie. My father loved food, and he loved to eat. He was an incredible cook, and my parents have quite a collection of cookbooks, including some of Julia Child's. I recently went to the Smithsonian mainly to see Julia Child's kitchen in the exhibit on food in America. Seeing that kitchen made me think of my Dad. I miss you, Dad. ❤ And thank you, Julia Child, for changing American kitchens and food forever. Rest in peace. I wonder if Dad and Julia are having conversations about food and recipes right now. They're probably cooking up a storm in heaven. 🥰
One of my comfort films.
