Boeuf Bourguignon | JC100 – Week 15
August 14th, 2012 · No Comments · Beef, Dinner, JC100, Red Meat, soup
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… the fifteenth and FINAL week of the JC100! FIFTEEN WHOLE WEEKS, that’s three and a half months…105 DAYS…nearly a third of a year! And of course, the final dish is one of Julia’s flagship recipes – Boeuf Bourguignon. This couldn’t have worked out better, as my mother […]

Scallops Gratinee (with Wine, Garlic, and Herbs) | JC100 – Week 14
August 7th, 2012 · 10 Comments · Appetizer, Cheese, Dinner, Fish, JC100, Seafood, Side
I must admit, I was expecting this weeks recipe to be the popular boeuf bourguignon, but maybe that will be next week for the big finale! Of course, receiving a recipe with scallops was no disappointment as I LOVE seafood and scallops are no exception! As usual the recipe did not disappoint, making for a […]

Cheese Souffle | JC100 – Week 13
July 31st, 2012 · 3 Comments · Cheese, Dinner, Egg, JC100, Side
It has finally arrived…the infamous Souffle! I knew at some point during JC100 this recipe was going to show up in our inbox, and though slightly terrified, I was very excited to try my hand at it! Now I’ve gotta have a little sympathy for the poor old souffle, it’s gotten a pretty bad rep […]

Ratatouille | JC100 – Week 11
July 18th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Dinner, Fresh herbs, JC100, Vegetable
Ratatouille!! Finally! Now maybe Ratatouille doesn’t need that many exclamation marks, but I was excited to make it and finally find out what it tastes like! After watching (and thoroughly enjoying) the Pixar film, I’ve always been curious what it was like! Well I wasn’t disappointed! All the vegetables melded together into some wonderful flavours. […]

Charlotte Chantilly | JC100 – Week 9
July 3rd, 2012 · 3 Comments · Dessert, Egg, JC100
Well… Looks like I have been forced to bake again for this weeks Julia Child recipe. This time it’s the Charlotte Chantilly with strawberries, a wonderfully creamy dessert encased in delicious homemade ladyfingers. As was mentioned on my previous baking effort, which happened to be my first for the blog, I had earned myself a […]
