I remember the old Julia shows and I was pretty young when they were aired. The first show I ever watched when I was at an age to make cooking decisions was
The Frugal Gourmet. His philosophy that cooking was an important skill worth teaching your children (girls
and boys) really hit home because I personalized it. His pointing this out made me view in a different light the way my mother and father cooked for us. I also remember Pierre Franey and miss him. I remember the Galloping Gourmet and his jog from behind the scenes to the kitchen - how he used clarified butter in EVERYTHING and how he manipulated his face into a very sensual mask upon sampling his rich foods.
20 years from now, I wonder who will be waxing nostalgic about Sandra Lee...ROFLMAO.
