I always enjoy my Saturday mornings with PBS. I just saw my first Julia
Child show from when she started out. It was fricking hillarious. The
format was such that it was a small box centered on my tv screen, in
black and white. She was making french onion soup. Dropping things,
knocking over the open bottle of brandy, saying things like "Oh well"
and then the part at the end where she gives "hostess" advice and they
show her "buffet" on a card table. Very campy. (And her french onion
soup looked horrible.)

Then I also saw one of her last shows where she brings in a guest
chef-he was from someplace called Lulu's in SF. He fried baby artichoke
hearts-looked delicious. He also breaded lemon slices and fried-that
would be interesting to eat. I wouldn't mind eating at that restaurant
if it still exists. He used her mortar and pestle and she said she
bought it in France in 1948 before he was born. Great stuff.

I watched Lydia Bastianich make chicken parmagiana which I have never
liked but hers looked pretty good. I especially enjoyed her lesson on
stuffing a chicken breast fillet. The breast fillet was about 3 times
the size of the average chicken breast sold in the grocery store.

I had to leave before I could watch Martha teach how to cook rice in 5
ways.

Yes. It's another Reed Hearon-created restaurant, along with Rose
Pistola, etc. We ate at both a few weeks ago. Lulu has held up well,
while Rose Pistola has gone downhill.

Hearon himself might have been that guest chef -- but he seldom cooks at
any of his places except while they're starting up.

There has been a parade of chefs through each one, as all of Hearon's
creations. They're seldom present for more than two years. I don't know
if Hearon owns either one any more.

Yes, the chef's name was Reed. He commented about how his artichoke dish
looked good on her plates-and it did-one of the few times that's
happened. She had those wildly colored plates ?majorca? "majollica?

Personally I like food served on crisp plain white-I love my simple
Corelle dishes for everyday, I also have Martha's "Greek" dishes (from
KMart-no snobbery here lol) which I love because the border colors pick
up on the silverware nicely. Alas, they sold out of the big platter
before I purchased the dishes and other serving pieces-but my Corelle
perfectly matches other than no border.

Thanks for the link-I had a look at the menu which includes iron skillet
mussels with dipping butter. That was the other item he prepared on her
show. Personally his steak and duck menu items appealed to me the most.
I eat vicariously all the time :-)

I have seen the Cook's stuffing show before and it makes total sense-in
fact most people dont even notice the wings on the cooked bird so cut
off the first two sections and set aside to be used in the stuffing
dish.

I love the Saturday cooking shows also. Did you see Cook's Country and
their tips for making dressing come out tasting like it came out of
the bird? Basically, they put the stuffing in a casserole dish, and
put turkey wings that had been pierced and browned in a pan on top of
the stuffing to bake? I thought it was brilliant!

I might try that sometime. I do like Cook's Country and it's usually
followed by another show with the same "guy with a bowtie." I like him.

Sadly I don't see these shows often. As you say, they are on PBS here either
Sat or Sun morning but I don't often watch tv that early.

Christopher Kimball...he mentioned that he had been to Woodstock on
one show. Kinda hard to picture with the bow tie!

It's also hard to picture that he used to be 80-100 pounds heavier,
but it's true.

That IS hard to picture!

He wrote the adverts:

"Natural, peaceful, idyllic, sourroundings with a back ground of
soothing rock renderings by the today's prominent rock and roll
musicians. Plenty of space for relaxing under warm blue skies."

LOL! Are you familiar with the children's books, "Where's Waldo?"
If you know what I'm talking about, it would be funny to get a picture from
Woodstock showing the large crowd and Photoshop a tiny pic of Christopher
Kimball into the crowd.

The more I think about him (which isn't much compared you and Goomba),
the more I think the character of Sheldon Cooper was partially based
on his mannerisms.

The local Seattle PBS station KCTS produces cooking shows a couple of
times a year. KCTS Chefs and KCTS Cooks. The Chef show is
local and regional Chefs who demonstrate tasty stuff and the show is 3
hours long. The KCTS Cooks show is also three hours and it is
home cooks from all over the area who cook their 'special' dishes.
Both series are really good. They put all the recipes in a book and
use the books as part of their fundraising......ie .become a member at
$100 level and get the cookbook......

I got my BBQ sauce recipe in my local tv bbq cookbook. I don't have the
book though. It's a neat station though, where mr Rodgers worked. The first
educational station, but they changed the name to public broadcasting,
which is not the same thing.

My Mom was on that show a long time ago as she had recommended a local
chef's recipe for Honey Walnut Prawns.
