S01E15: Soufflés
Julia and Jacques demonstrate the art and the adventure of the soufflé. Julia extends the classic Cheese Soufflé to super-height... and Jacques creates a light, fluffy, flavorful Scallop and Cheese Soufflé in a large casserole.

Overview
Julia and Jacques: Cooking at Home was the last culinary series to star Julia Child. Teaming up with Julia for these 22 programs was Jacques Pépin, who had just finished Jacques Pépin's Kitchen: Encore with Claudine. This show took A La Carte Communications, its producing agency, into a new direction. After Julia and Jacques: Cooking at Home, A La Carte grew by leaps and bounds with programs such as Michael Chiarello's Napa and America's Test Kitchen. There is no editor for this show. If you would like to be the editor look here for details.
