25 Classic Julia Child Recipes to Try at Home
Published Sep 12, 2017

Family Style Food
Julia Child famously said, “If you’re afraid of butter, use cream.” Yep, simple, straightforward words we can get behind. So grab your lacy apron and a baguette and prepare to go back in time to the 1950s French countryside.
1.
Leek and Potato Soup
Just call this Potage Parmentier (with your best French accent).
2.
Beef Bourguignon
Sure, it simmers for three hours. But it also makes at least six servings. Leftovers for days.
10.
Basic Crêpes
Julia served hers with orange butter (but if you smear yours with Nutella, we won’t tell).
14.
Haricots Verts
Sometimes the French do eat veggies—with plenty of butter, of course.
22.
Champignons Farcis
These Gruyère-stuffed mushrooms are totally old-school, but that doesn’t make them any less delicious.
