Dishing with Julia Child is a PBS Living show starring the iconic chef, Julia Child, and renowned chef and restaurateur Jose Andres. The show revolves around Julia and Jose discussing and preparing classic French dishes, providing insights into their cooking methods, and sharing interesting anecdotes about their experiences as chefs.

Julia Child, known as the 'grand dame' of French cuisine, is renowned for her classic cookbook, 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking,' which revolutionized the way Americans cooked and thought about food in the 1960s. Her culinary approach was marked by a sense of humor, passion for cooking, and a dedication to serving sumptuous meals in an unpretentious manner.

Jose Andres, a James Beard Award-winning chef, is recognized for his inventive and authentic Spanish dishes that highlight the flavors and textures of his native country's cuisine. He runs a chain of successful restaurants and has been a vocal advocate for feeding the hungry and helping disaster victims through his nonprofits, World Central Kitchen and Chefs for the People.

In Dishing with Julia Child, viewers get to experience the magic of these two culinary giants as they showcase their skills in the kitchen while giving viewers an insight into their cooking philosophy. The show is shot in a beautifully designed kitchen that combines modern and classic styles, providing the perfect environment for the two chefs to share their techniques and tips.

Throughout the series, the duo prepares a range of classic French dishes, starting with the basics such as a simple French omelet, crepes, and beurre blanc sauce, and progressing to more complex delicacies such as Coquilles St. Jacques, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Sole Meuniere. Their recipes are not only delicious but are also steeped in tradition, reflecting the rich history and culture of French cuisine.

What makes the show even more special are the stories Julia and Jose share as they cook. Julia, being a culinary icon, saw and experienced the evolution of French food and was part of the movement that brought it to the US. Jose brings his perspective as a modern-day chef, who has trained in classic French cooking, but is also influenced by traditional Spanish cuisine.

Their anecdotes about cooking disasters, kitchens they have worked in, and memorable meals shared with friends all add a personal touch to the show. Through their stories, viewers get a sense of the joy and reward that comes from cooking and sharing meals with others.

Additionally, the show provides insights into the technical aspects of cooking, such as knife skills, how to sauté, and proper temperatures for meat. This makes it an excellent resource for aspiring chefs or anyone interested in becoming more confident in the kitchen.

In conclusion, Dishing with Julia Child is a delightful and informative show that enables viewers to experience the joy and art of cooking. Julia Child and Jose Andres's chemistry, humor, and expertise make it a must-watch for food lovers everywhere.
