But Julia Child was devoted to the art of French cuisine. And starting in 1963, The French Chef single-handedly taught a nation of Shake ‘n Bakers who didn’t know their Boeuf Bourguignon from their Bouillabaisse how to cook well, eat well and drink well. Sometimes all at the same time.
From humble beginnings in a makeshift studio that had no running water and was located inside the Boston Gas Company, The French Chef changed palates and cooking habits across America in two hundred informative and unforgettably entertaining episodes broadcast on PBS.
Julia Child was the recipient of an Emmy® Award and a Peabody Award, and she was featured on the cover of Time magazine. But unquestionably, Julia’s greatest achievement was that she made cooking a national pastime, paving the way for so many remarkable culinary experts to follow.
More than fifty years after its debut, The French Chef remains important television. That’s why today’s most popular chefs, celebrities and Julia Child devotees have joined PBS to delight in six of the most-beloved episodes from her groundbreaking series, The French Chef, offering insightful, anecdotal, funny and deeply personal comments in unabashed appreciation of the first lady of cooking.
PBS has always offered programming with good taste. Now, along with a feast of celebrity chefs including Martha Stewart, Jacques Pépin, José Andres, Eric Ripert, Vivian Howard, Marcus Samuelsson, Sara Moulton, Carla Hall and Rick Bayless, get ready to celebrate a series with great taste.
Today’s top celebrity chefs mix it up over classic episodes of The French Chef.
