Like many Julie & Julia fans, I couldn’t wait for the weather to start getting cold so I could make Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon.  Although It took me 2 days to cook the dish, including a small mishap where I took Julia’s directions for “small onions” a little too literally and bought extremely small yellow onions in place of pearl onions, the meal turned out well. The beef turned out extremely tender (perfect for those with grandma teeth) and I balanced the meal out with baked swiss chard and a baguette from Le Pain Quotidien.  Overall, I would make this again, perhaps on a weekend next time and throw in more veggies.  It’s the perfect hearty meal to serve on an autumn day.

The Julia Child recipe for Beef Bourguignon can be found in pdf format below from the Knopf website:

As my good friend Vivian reminded me this afternoon, I’ve come a long way since she caught me cooking chicken in a pan without oil/butter back in college. I’ve officially gotten the Julia Child bug and with my new copy of ”Mastering the Art of French Cooking”, I’ve made Suprêmes de Volaille aux Champignons* and Haricots Verts à la Maître d’Hôtel**.  To help simplify the meal, I made Near East’s Garlic & Herb Rice Pilaf to serve as my starch for the evening.  The suprêmes were extremely rich and I would use less cream next time however they are nicely evened out with the rice pilaf and the haricots verts. *Chicken breasts with mushrooms and cream **Buttered Green Beans II with Lemon Juice and Parsley

Instead of a birthday cake for my friend John’s birthday, I made Julia Child’s Tarte Aux Pommes from The French Chef Cookbook.  A refreshing summer dessert when served chilled.
