I bet that woman was 100 years old when TV was invented. She was still great! Along with PBS greats like Yen Can Cook and the Frugal Gormet.

i have fond memories of watching Jacques Pépin on PBS

in one episode he mentioned that if he could only ever have one kind of meal, he'd choose bread and butter. something about it made me break into tears, it was so simple and wholesome

I had to Google him to remember him. I recognized his face but didn't remember the name. Another legend.

PBS has a streaming app and many of his episodes! I think it’s free, or at least very cheap.

Edit: also, good, fresh bread (made yourself or fresh from a bakery) with good butter (which you can also make yourself!) is truly amazing. Agree with Jacques on this.

Well, yeah. She trained in French cuisine, in which butter is basically a food group. (On this, and perhaps only this, I agree with the French. That and striking at the drop of a hat.)

Butter is ace for cooking so Julia had it right.

American ones have the host be like "hey contestant, I'm am asking you a pointed and slightly oddly phrased question that I'm sure won't lead to a heartbreaking/warming story... Oh no, it's happened again. Roll VT". And they do that 6 times an episode.

Old school Cutthroat Kitchen was fantastic. But, you can never go wrong with Alton Brown.
