Summary: The Best from the Best!
Comment: 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!

Summary: my two favorite chefs, at what they're doing best...
Comment: 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.

Summary: Scrumptious
Comment: 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.

Summary: You won't be disappointed ....one of the best ....
Comment: I am such a fan of Jacques Pepin and Julia Child and when I came across this DVD I had to order it immediately. It surely was not a disappointment. They each have their own twist on doing even the most simple things such as breaking eggs and adding wine. Jacques measures the wine and Julia just pours it into the dish they are preparing....in her own carefree "Julia way". I think this is a wonderful DVD.

Summary: The best home cooking DVD series of all time
Comment: How refreshing to actually watch 2 of the greatest teaching chefs of all time cook for us. This DVD series is matchless and timeless.
Without scripts or strict recipes, these 2 icons show us that with proper techniques, and a large passion for cooking, even the basic cooking can turn out spectacular. I've learned so much from this series. This dvd shows us proper techniques, and that good quality fresh ingredients, along with simple straight forward recipes are what it's all about.
The Food Network is more into cooks with trendy catch phrases, cute smiles and bubbly personalities, than it is in teaching us what cooking is about; fun, passionate people that show us great techniques and while having fun doing it.
This DVD is nothing less than an inspiration, and they show the viewer how to cut and debone meat and poultry, and to properly roast a chicken; the basics; something that is rarely done anymore.
You will not see Rachel Ray open a can of green beans on the DVD; or Emeril Bamming; or Giada acting like a cheerleader opening her eyes real wide while smiling so cute; no you'll see the most talented and passionate chefs of all time teaching us why they love to cook knowing that this will inspire us to cook; and they love every minute of it. There's no cooking dvd better than this one.
