Snowed In? Watch Television On Your Computer

With "Historic, extreme snow," as weather.com is calling it, on its way, we thought now would be a good time to steer you towards Julia Child: Cooking with Master Chefs streaming on PBS. The sixteen episode series aired in the early 90s. In it, Julia Child visits influential chefs from around the world in their own kitchens, where they make classic dishes and share tips along the way. At the beginning of each episode, Child introduces each chef in her passion-filled voice – one that will go forever unmatched in the world of television and all things culinary. In one episode, a young Emeril Lagasse makes a classic New Orleans crab boil. In another, Jean-Louis Palladin roasts duck breasts over an open fire. Alice Waters reveals her love for arugula in one episode, while "the strapping six foot four inch" Charles Palmer makes potato chips laced with petals of fresh herbs in another. So, put on your slippers, open a bottle of Gamay, get warm, and stream all 16 episodes over here.
