While, at first, it can be painful to watch the dynamic as Jacques and Julia establish their own place as a team, the food they make is gorgeous and inspiring as well as healthy.
The conspiracy against cholesterol and the cash cow for big pharma, insurance companies and medicine, the American, is disregarded, to our benefit here. Yay to our needed cholesterol (it is like the nails in the house). For more info, look up information on the Cholesterol Con.
We also need toxin free animal fat and meat in order to be healthy as demonstrated by our ancestors, modern aboriginals as well as healthy people in cities. Jacques and Julia point out the qualities fresh meat, seafood and veggies. Grassfed and organic had yet to register to them and you know about it already.
Additionally, too many carbs lifelong is demonstrated as the killer. Cardiovascular disease is seen in a large number of vegetarian Egyptian mummies and South American remains of their royalty, rather than grass fed fresh beef or butter. You know this in your bones as your mouth waters looking at this healing luxurious food cooked by Jacques and Julia.
About the show, Julia has been an established authority of cooking since the 1950s and it is likely required a tough and obnoxious personality to cope with the abuse showered upon her by professionals cooking in that male dominated era. Unfortunately, at times this personality trait makes her look like a crotchety old jerk to her partner. Jacques patiently and possibly painfully tries to appease her and eventually they get along. As the show progresses it seems that Julia appreciates the opportunity she has.
I do believe that Jacques is a better cook than her. Some of his creations are like art that makes you cry, and I am the last person to enjoy museums and art and crap like that. I could be biased in this comparison as he seemed to have been the long suffering underdog for much of the series.
Like a previous viewer pointed out they do use metal on what appears to be teflon. I think a titanium pan would work for this instead. Also, foil with wine poured on top of a cabbage dish made me exclaim inside about alzheimers. I wonder if parchment paper could substitute.
While this is not Martha Stewart, or any other cooking show with printouts, you can learn by observing like when people used to watch their family cook.
Healthy, classic, delicious & inspiring meals await one here...Enjoy!
