A YEAR OF READING (part 3B)...

and finally my last goal:

make one recipe a season from julia child's

mastering the art of french cooking.

evidently i am not a "real" chef.

i am quick to admit that most everything i make is simple,

and i take a lot of shortcuts in the kitchen.

cooking from this cookbook certainly kept me humble though.

i was intimidated to open the page and put it off for a year.

so as it turns out i did not cook one recipe a season,

but instead attempted to make four things in one week.

in the end i did complete four recipes of julia child's,

but i might have lost a little of my sanity along the way.

they were all very tasty though.

thankfully evan and jim stepped in and helped me a lot on the main dish.

we would have had to order pizza in the end had i attempted it alone!

1) SUPREMES DE VOLAILLE AUX CHAMPIGNONS

chicken breasts with mushrooms and cream

2) POINTES D'ASPERGES AU BEURRE

buttered asparagus tips

3) BISCUIT AU BEURRE

butter spongecake

 4) SAUCE VINAIGRETTE

french dressing

coming next week:

my resolutions for this coming year,

and then we will return to my regular program of posts!
