While We're on the Subject of Miss Julia...

In her classic cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child wrote nineteen pages about omelets. And said they were easy! Simple!

You'd think 19 pages of musings would mean that they're difficult. But as we see in this 1979 clip, it's really just all in the wrist...

  1. If it's all in the wrist, then I'm soooo screwed. Julia was awesome though.

  2. Yeah, me too. If I tried that with my skillet, I'd break my wrist!

    I miss Julia. She was my first "celebrity chef", and watching these old videos, I am struck by how much I've been influenced by her.
