julia child presents, the chicken sisters. ms. broiler, ms. fryer, ms. roaster. ms. capenette and old madam hen. but we re spotlighting ms. roaster of the year. manage to get in between the vertebrae. all right now dig this baby good and tight. slices right down i have only one and burning desire let me stand next to your fire it should have a butter massage. gets right into that skin and gives it a lovely flavor, and it helps it brown nicely. french food is just wonderful. i hadn t been turned on by anything until i got into french food let me stand next to your fire you can poach it or you can roast it the old-fashioned way in the oven. or you can roast it on the spit. i find that if people aren t interest in the food i m not interest in the them. they seem to lack something in the way of personality. yeah, get on with it, baby i m going to turn this chicken around, so whenever you think of roast chicken, you think of it this way. that
You had to your man, and you had to flatter your man. everyone we knew in france was interested in food. most discussions were about food, really. julia met simka at a party, and they found many, many things that they could share. simone beck. she was a very good cook. we met and we just immediately became bosom friends. i had some american friends who wanted to learn cooking, so they said, will you teach us? i thought, heavens, i m not ready for that, but simka was. she also had her friend and colleague louisette. so we started our cooking school, in our kitchen which had room enough so we could have six pupils.
Simka and louisette had been doing a book on french cooking for americans and they needed an american collaborator. so we did an american view, an american attitude. so we started writing our book. the goal of the book was to make french cooking for americans with american products so that you could replicate it here. simka, her partner, found that difficult, because simka felt it should only be done the french way regardless. simka was a very willful woman. she was very no problem in saying, you don t do it like that. no, that s not how you do it. you do it like this. it sounded like orders, like she wanted to regiment everyone, like a police officer. simka was not an easy woman. nor was julia. they both had very strong opinions.
Really upsetting and sometimes to their families. many of them were afraid of victim shaming, victim blaming and not being believed. many of them didn t know this was happening to anyone else. and now that rage that they felt for so many years, alex, you know, that cannot be contained anymore. it s come out in a constructive way. they are speaking out. they are empowered. and i m just so proud of all of them. louisette, i ll give the final word to you. what do you want to happen to harvey weinstein and what do you think should happen? they should leave him in a room with my parents. i honestly i want justice to prevail here. too many of us had been silent for years because we were scared. but now we need to turn that table and, you know, it is allegations at this point. but when proven, you know, possibly jail. so we ll see. louisette has other evidence that we re not sharing publicly.
Fear that people who have come into contact with him who are seeking, you know, opportunities as louisette was in reference to her script, which was a big opportunity to pitch it to a major producer, might be retaliated against if in fact they spoke out about it or did anything about it. fear that they would never work again in this town because he was so powerful and they were not people perhaps whose names were known or even if they were known, they might not get the next movie if they said anything. louisette, is that what you felt? this was a very powerful man. did you tell anyone? did you fear retaliation if you did? absolutely. absolutely. i feared retaliation. and i did tell, quite frankly, family members and friends. over the years, like i ve said before that i got out of the business predominantly because of this kind of behavior. but i did tell people over the years and really any actress who would listen because i wanted to
