Julia & Jacques: Cooking at Home
Season 1 Episode 18 - Comfort Food - Poached Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Rustic Apple Tart Dessert
Poached chicken, chicken pot pie and rustic apple tart dessert. Julia and Jacques show how simple it is to poach a chicken with vegetables, mushrooms and a little white wine, and then take that poaching liquid and use it with the leftover poached chicken for a flaky crusted chicken pot pie. The same simple pastry Julia makes for the pot pie is perfect base for a rustic apple and dried fruit tart.

Season 1
S01:E01 - Beef - Hamburgers to Chateaubriand
“There’s nothing as good as a good piece of meat”, and as Julia is quick to point out, there is less and less really good (well marbled and aged) beef to be found. Hangar Steak, Skirt Strip, Flank and Ribeye.
S01:E02 - Desserts - Fresh Fruits to Crepes Suzettes
Jacques and Julia create some very special desserts in this colorful episode. Poires Belle Helene - poached pear perched atop pound cake drizzled with chocolate sauce; sweet creamy rich and delicious Strawberries Sabayon; and Crepes Suzette, classically flambéed and served with orange butter and powdered sugar, as well as a Hungarian inspired torta of layered crepes baked with raspberry jam.
S01:E03 - Salads - Tossed Greens to Nicoise
Jacques dressed in a toga? For the Julia's Caesar Salad, of course! This show has a salad for everyone, from a simple mixed green salad with a garlic vinaigrette, to classic Caesar and Nicoise (with fresh seared tuna) Salads. How about some Potato Salad? Well, Julia and Jacques prepare two: an American style potato salad with home made mayonnaise, and its tart French cousin.
S01:E04 - Sandwiches - Croques Monsieur Et Madame to Pain Bagnat
As a child, one of Julia’s favorite sandwiches was an ice cream sandwich. Jacques was a stick of chocolate between two pieces of bread. Today, Julia’s favorite is the Croque Monsieur, or pressed and baked ham & cheese. Of course, Jacques provides a variation he calls a Croque Madam. A close second they can both agree on is the New England lobster roll, served on a toasted hot dog bun.
S01:E05 - Vegetables - Artichokes, Bruised Peas and Forever Green Beans, and Tomatoes
Julia and Jacques prepare artichokes—several ways—including artichoke hearts stuffed with spinach and mushroom Duxelle. Julia demonstrates her secret to ever-green cooked string beans and butter bruised peas. Jacques counters with his aromatic Tomato Provencal.
S01:E06 - Beef Stew - the Collaborative Version, With a Signature Swiss Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Sounds rather ordinary for this celebrated duet…but here, Jacques and Julia demonstrate why Beef Burgundy and Pot Roast have beens favorite “classic” recipes (here and in France) for what seems like “forever,” and they put their own signature on it “Swiss cheese mashed potatoes” (for the Beef Burgundy), and “soft ribbon noodles” (fort the Pot Roast).
S01:E07 - Fish - Classic Sole, Grilled Halibut and Poached Grouper
Sole food and more. One of Julia’s most memorable meals was the Sole Meuniere she had on first arriving in Paris after WWII. With Jacques, she recreates this dish, as delightful as ever. The sole is followed by grilled halibut with herbed butter, and poached snapper with beautifully turned and sautéed cucumbers.
S01:E08 - Turkey - Not-Quite-Traditional Roast Turkey Dinner
This meal is the holiday favorite that is so good, Julia & Jacques recommend it for any day of the year. Roast Turkey with sausage and cornbread stuffing, gravy made the old-fashioned way, accompanied by creamed onions and a zesty Cranberry-Apple Chutney. The “not-quite” which has to be seen, is the inventive way the turkey is cut-up before cooking, roasted and re-assembled for serving.
S01:E09 - Soup - Four Classics: Onion, Vichyssoise, Mediterranean Fish, and Chicken
Four classic soups made from scratch in Julia’s kitchen: aromatic steaming hot French Onion Soup; Vichyssoise, or chilled Leek and Potato soup, as well as an original variation on the theme using watercress; and a hearty Mediterranean fish stew with an authentic rouille. And, because no show about would be complete without Chicken soup, we are presented chicken & noodle and chicken & rice soups.
S01:E10 - Eggs - Boiled, Scrambled, Omelets, Frittatas, Eggs Benedict
Eggs: all sizes, all types from chicken to quail to ostrich… soft, scrambled, poached… from omelets to Frittatas to eggs Benedict…not to mention Julia and Jacques scrambling an ostrich egg as voluminous as a dozen and a half Grade A Large.
S01:E11 - Pork - Improvisations on Classic Pork Dishes
A classic of the American table--pork chops and applesauce, is the starting point for three J&J improvisations: aromatic grilled, stuffed pork chops with rosemary, served with a tomato, red onion and avocado salad; loin of pork with sautéed red cabbage and apples, and Pork Tenderloin Medallions with port wine and macerated prunes on a bed of orzo.
S01:E12 - Creamy Desserts - Crème Caramel, Crème Brulé, Chocolate Pot De Crème
Julia dons safety goggles and takes up a blowtorch for this hot dessert show. Delectable Creme Caramel and creme Brulé vie for attention with creamy Chocolate Pot de Creme and Profiteroles with Ice Cream and Mocha Anglaise. This show is deliciously and elegantly decadent.
S01:E13 - Shellfish - Mussels, Oysters, Clams and Shrimp
Julia and Jacques share opinions, and know-how, on mussels…and, oysters, clams and shrimp. Jacques shucks, Julia sauces, and they turn out Mussels Mariniere, Billi Bi soup, and Moules Ravigots, along with a classic shrimp cocktail and mignonette sauce.
S01:E14 - Roast Chicken - Three Ways to Perfectly Roasted Chickens
Perfectly roasted chicken says Julia, is a telltale of a really good cook. Here are three ways to perfectly roasted chicken. Whether whole rack-roasted or trussed and stuffed under the skin with a savory and shallot sauté, or butterflied and roasted with a delicate spice rub, each has a crispy golden brown skin and juicy meat that say “Hmmmm! Great chicken!”
S01:E15 - Soufflés - Cheese, Scallop, Chocolate
Julia and Jacques demonstrate the art, and the adventure, of the Soufflé. Julia extends the classic cheese soufflé to super-height…and Jacques creates a light, fluffy, flavorful scallop and cheese soufflé in a large casserole. For dessert, a chocolate soufflé and cream roulade. Twinkies were never this good!
S01:E16 - Winter Vegetables - Stuffed Cabbage Plus Cauliflower Gratin
Julia and Jacques take the doldrums about of Winter Vegetables, and demonstrate how even vegetables cooked only in season can be a special treat. Braised Cabbage stuffed with a flavorful ground beef and rice filling, one way with onions, celery, garlic and caraway seeds, and another surrounded with tomato sauce.
S01:E17 - Charcuterie - Simple Homemade Sausages, Including Sausage in Brioche, and Patés
Julia and Jacques demonstrate recipes for sausage and paté that are right out of the French countryside. Made from scratch sausage and lentil salad, country paté (2 ways), and, for a finale, a grand truffle infused sausage wrapped in fresh baked brioche (recipe also demonstrated).
S01:E18 - Comfort Food - Poached Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Rustic Apple Tart Dessert
Poached chicken, chicken pot pie and rustic apple tart dessert. Julia and Jacques show how simple it is to poach a chicken with vegetables, mushrooms and a little white wine, and then take that poaching liquid and use it with the leftover poached chicken for a flaky crusted chicken pot pie. The same simple pastry Julia makes for the pot pie is perfect base for a rustic apple and dried fruit tart.
S01:E19 - Salmon: Salmon Tartar, Gravlax, Baked in a Papillote, and Roasted Fillets
Start with one large, whole Salmon, and observe as Julia and Jacques transform the fish into Salmon tartar and “Instant Gravlax.” This, of course, is prelude to baking the Salmon in an “only Julia can get away with it” bicycle pump inflated parchment papillote (bag).
S01:E20 - Roast of Veal and Leg of Lamb
First is a Roast of Veal with Wild Mushrooms, Braised Endive, onions and white wine—the aromas just fill the kitchen. Second is a delicious Leg of Lamb, hip bone removed, studded with garlic on a ragout of white beans and pancetta, onions, mushrooms and thyme. And, not only are you shown how to prepare these dishes, but Jacques then demonstrates, step-by-step, how to carve and serve them.
