Shellfish (Episode #113)
KQED Life: Mon, Oct 29, 2012 -- 5:00 PM
Julia and Jacques share opinions, and know-how, on mussels...and, oysters, clams and shrimp. Jacques shucks, Julia sauces, and they turn out Mussels Marinierem Bell Bi Soup, and Moules Ravigots, along with a classic shrimp cocktail and mignonette sauce.
Roasts of Veal and Lamb (Episode #120)
KQED Life: Fri, Oct 26, 2012 -- 5:30 PM
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.
Pork (Episode #111)
KQED 9: Fri, Oct 26, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
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 sauteed red cabbage and apples, and Pork Tenderloin Medallions with port wine and macerated prunes on a bed of orzo.
Creamy Desserts (Episode #112)
KQED Life: Mon, Oct 22, 2012 -- 5:00 PM
Julia dons safety goggles and takes up a blowtorch for this hot dessert show. Delectable Creme Caramel and Creme Brulee vie for attention with creamy chocolate Pot de Creme and Profiteroles with Ice Cream and Mocha Anglaise. This show is deliciously and elegantly decadent.
Salmon (Episode #119)
KQED Life: Fri, Oct 19, 2012 -- 5:30 PM
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.
Eggs (Episode #110)
KQED 9: Fri, Oct 19, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
Eggs - all sizes, all types - from chicken to quail to ostrich. Soft, scrambled, poached - from omelets to fritatas to eggs benedict - not to mention Julia and Jacques scrambling an ostrich egg as voluminous as a dozen and a half Grade A Large.

Comfort Food: Poached Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Apple Tart Dessert (Episode #118)
KQED Life: Fri, Oct 12, 2012 -- 5:30 PM
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. Bon Appetit.
Soup (Episode #109)
KQED 9: Fri, Oct 12, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
Four classic soups made from scratch in Julia's kitchen: aromatic steaming hot French Onion Soup, topped with heaps of melted, baked cheese; Vichyssoise, or chilled Leak 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.
Eggs (Episode #110)
KQED Life: Mon, Oct 8, 2012 -- 5:00 PM

Charcuterie: Sausage and Pate (Episode #117)

(Not-Quite-Traditional) Roast Turkey Dinner (Episode #108)
KQED 9: Fri, Oct 5, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
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.
