Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon
 

Starkizzer went all out for a holiday get together and made Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner last night. It was amazing! While she was cooking, I was taking some pictures.

While this took a long time to make, it was definitely worth it! We will be doing this one again!

Oh my!

Thank looks absolutely delicious :)

that looks wonderful!!!!

Looks great -

Difficulty on a scale from 1-5?

That looks lovely.

I love good cooking.

Everyone seems to say that it would be a 5, but star made it look more like a 3 or so. It is mostly time consuming, not hard according to her.

I figured a 4 or 5. Looks like it came out great tho.

I REALLY like that dining area. Way more than I like the way the actual dish looks, except for the meat.

It's just that I dislike soups and vegetables.

LS, its more like meat with a thick and delicious gravy on it. The veggies taste nothing like their original state and instead take on the taste of the wine and beef bullion they are cooked in. I was truly amazed at how tasty it came out.

Oh, and thanks about the dining room area. It was an old awful looking set I was given as a hand me down. Over the summer I sanded and painted the whole thing black and then recovered the cushions with this fabric I fell in love with from IKEA. :hearts:

Beautiful place-setting =)

Lovely photos, and the food looks amazing.

I recently watched the movie Julia & Julia which is in part about Julia Child, I hadn't heard of her before. Btw Meryl Streep is amazing as Julia Child. The boeuf bourgignon recipe appears in the film and I was curious to try it. So thanks for this!

Can't wait to try it myself.

watch some of here shows.. she's one of the originals before all the Food Network people.

thank you for those links Cyn, I'd been meaning to try and find some of her cooking show episodes to watch...she looks like a quirky lady and an amazing cook...I like the combination heh.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially in that sweater. :thumbsup:

Thanks Redlemon, but I wasn't the dish of the night. :lol:
