Julia Child Popular Recipes

Considering how many posts in mention Julia Child, it was quite a shock to discover how few are accompanied by a recipe. A friend just sent me news of an incredible opportunity to experience Paris through Julia’s eyes.  And that inspired me to pull out this truly wonderful recipe. And what a discovery it was!  There are only 5

Steps to make this luxuriously creamy-rich dish, with its tender chicken breasts, mushrooms, and, of course, its essential Madeira cream sauce. It’s simply a matter of sautéing shallots and mushrooms in butter, baking the chicken with them, then removing the cooked breasts and making the sauce in the same pan.  As Ina Garten would say “How Easy Is That?”

Has put together an incredibly luxurious six-day journey to Paris. What’s distinctive about this trip? Everything celebrates the Paris that excited Julia Childs so much that she created the most successful Cooking Books in American Publishing History. Since their publication in 1961, “Mastering The Art of French Cooking: Volumes I and II” have sold 1.5 million copies. And all because one woman fell madly in love with Paris and everything about it.

Crepes à La Julia Child Recipe

It will explore Julia’s favorite neighborhoods while introducing guests to the same sights, bites, sips, and aromas that first piqued her interest in French cuisine. Fonzo, a celebrated chef in his own right, offers guests a chefs-eye-view of Paris as he pays homage to Julia Child through this immersive trip, running September 3-8 2023.

Germain des Pres, the journey begins with a private cruise along the Seine River. Guests will enjoy the sights and a glass of bubbles, followed by a traditional three-course dinner paired with French wines—just the way Julia liked it—at Chez Denise in Les Halles.

Guests spend the morning à la Julia: with breakfast at Les Deux Magots. Once a favorite meeting point for the who’s-who of writers and artists, Les Deux Magots remains one of Paris’s most popular cafés. From there, Chef Fonzo will take guests to Shakespeare & Company, a bookstore on the Left Bank where Julia often searched for books on French cooking. A stop at a typical Parisian market affords Chef Fonzo the opportunity to introduce the group to the fresh seasonal produce before heading to Le Cordon Bleu. Arguably one of the most important venues for Julia, Le Cordon Bleu is where she enrolled and spent six months learning everything she could about French cuisine. Guests will enjoy a lunch of their own making here, perhaps even a recipe Julia herself prepared during her schooling.

Guests will regroup with Chef Fonzo in time for lunch at Café de Flore, where Julia and Paul once dined among the city’s celebrated artists. One of the oldest coffee houses on the charming Boulevard Saint Germain, Café de Flore remains a popular hangout for celebrities and travelers to this day. Then, Julia’s favorite dessert takes center stage as guests learn to prepare the French èclair under the tutelage of a local pastry chef. A sunset gathering at the Eiffel Tower is followed by a memorable dinner at the chic, Michelin-starred Jules Vernes.

Begins with a trip to Versailles, where guests take a private tour through the grand estate and enjoy a picnic lunch in the park prepared by Chef Gordon Ramsey’s team at the neighboring Trianon Palace Hotel. Back in Paris, a cheesemaking workshop will enlighten guests about one of France’s—and Julia’s—favorite foods, followed by an epic, two-part dinner experience. The first stop is Le Verjus, located in the heart of the Palais Royal, then dessert at Julia’s favorite spot for sweet treats, Brasserie Lipp.

Chef Fongo will lead a shopping trip through the markets followed by a cooking class and lunch. Free time that afternoon allows guests to enjoy some of the city’s best-kept secrets or get adventurous and explore the city via bike. The grand finale is dinner at Le Grand Véfour, an opulent historic spot dating back to the 1780s and more importantly, the site of Julia’s monthly romantic “rendezvous” with Paul—a fitting place to conclude the culinary journey and say “Bon Appetit.

I’ve rounded up some of my all-time favorite Julia Child recipes, so get ready to venture into the world of French cooking with the master herself!

The hearty beef and onion broth is topped with toasted bread and melted cheese for a soup that’s so delicious, it’ll almost make you weep.

A Potato Dish For Julia Child Recipe

I’m sure you’ve heard of quiche Lorraine before, right? That’s all thanks to Julia Child, as her recipe is the one that made it so popular.

Made with bacon, onion, eggs, cream, three types of cheese, and spices, this classic is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.

To save yourself a bit of time, use a store-bought pie crust. The filling is so decadent, nobody will notice if you don’t make it from scratch.

Julia Childs Berry Clafoutis

It really doesn’t get much more decadent than beef bourguignon. It’s basically beef that’s slow-simmered in a rich, red wine gravy, and it’s to die for.

While you can cut corners and make this in a slower cooker or Instant Pot, if you want to do it the Julia Child way, it’s a long, slow process on the stovetop that will take you all day.

However, the effort is more than worth it for how amazing the resulting stew is. Prepare to be incredibly impressed with yourself after making this recipe.

Learning to perfect crepes can take a bit of patience, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll whip these up all the time.

Coq au vin is basically just what it sounds like — chicken and wine. Well, it’s slow-cooked chicken and vegetables in a wine sauce, that is.

Using the slow cooker for this dish won’t take away from the experience, so I highly suggest it. Plus, your house will smell amazing as it cooks all day.

If you want to get the best texture for this soup, you’ll need a food mill, as it results in a better consistency than a blender or food processor.

It really isn’t all that difficult, though you’ll want to follow Julia’s recipe exactly, including basting the bird and rotating it so that the skin turns out nice and golden.
