Years ago, I had the privilege of taking a class from Julia Child, as well as attending a chat session with Julia & Jaques Pepin. Julia was great! Month’s ago I read “Julie Julia” and loved it, and then recently Dan & I saw the movie. As always, the book was better then the movie. It did get me thinking though, what is all the fuss about Mastering the Art of French Cooking? I had to buy a copy and see for myself. Cookbooks fill my kitchen, but it is rare that I sit down and read one, or follow a recipe. For this month’s recipe, I first followed Julia’s Bouef A La Bourguigonne to the tee, (I now know why the book “Julie”Julia” had a lot of swearing and drinking in it) and then modified it. If you are looking for Julia Child’s recipe, there are many places where you can find it. Below is my rendition, with Julia’s masterful influence. Bon Appétit!
