Beef
"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. Sautéed ribeye steak for Steak Diane, New York strip steak with crushed pepper (Steak au Poivre), sautéed chicken steak with persiallade, a classic Chateaubriand (for two, or more), les piéces de resistance: two grand All-American Hamburgers, each stacked high with Julia and Jacquess' respective favorite garnishes and condiments.

Salad Days
Jacques dressed in a toga? For 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 Niçoise (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.

Our Favorite Sandwiches
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 and 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. Then the two join forces to produce a Mediterranean specialty, Pan Bagnat and a seafood-filled loaf of bread.

Beef Stews-Pot Roast and Burgundy
Sounds rather ordinary for this celebrated duet...but here, Jacques and Julia demonstrate why Beef Burgundy and Pot Roast have been 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" (for the Pot Roast).

(Not-Quite-Traditional) Roast Turkey Dinner
This meal is the holiday favorite that is so good, Julia and Jacques recommend it for any day of the year...Roast Turkey with sausage and cornbread stuffing, gravy made the old-fashioned way from the pan-drippings, 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, and then roasted and re-assembled for serving.

Soup
Four classic soups made from scratch in Julia's kitchen: aromatic steaming hot French Onion Soup, topped with a baked crust of Swiss cheese; 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 soup would be complete without chicken soup, we are presented Chicken and Noodle and Chicken and Rice Soups.

Roast Chickens
Perfectly roasted chicken says Julia, is a tell-tale of a really good cook. Here are three ways to perfectly roast a chicken. Whether whole rack-roasted or trussed and stuffed under the skin with a savory shallot sauté, or butterflied and roasted with a delicate spice rub, each has a crispy golden brown skin and juicy meat that say, "Hmmm! Great chicken!"

A Cauliflower Gratin, glazed Turnips, Carrots and a Celery Root Remoulade complete this hearty display of winter vegetable cookery.

Comfort Food: Poached Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and 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 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. Bon Appétit!

Salmon
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). For those cooking solo, they also demonstrate how to filet and then roast fresh salmon, served with a garnish of snow peas and tomatoes.

Duck
Duck is a favorite in restaurants, but often considered too difficult to cook at home. No longer! First, Julia prepares her classic whole Roasted Duck, then Jacques makes a Pan-Roasted Duck, glazed with shallots and parsnips. Then, together Julia and Jacques create a Warm Duck Salad combining slices of juicy duck breast and duck giblet with garlic, mustard and delicate salad greens, sprinkled with crispy, roasted duck skin.
