I am so excited I finally gave in and bought myself a gigantic Le Creuset dutch oven. It cost a gallon of blood and a few dollars, to. However, now I can take another shot at some classic French cooking. I found the a great version of a coq au vin recipe this month’s Gourmet magazine but the weather has warmed up so as soon as it gets chilly I will take my shot.
Most classic French cooking is pretty non fancy….
Not sure about that accent…..
Morning type music….

when you add the brandy and light the pot to flame the brandy, keep your eyebrows back away from the dutch oven. 😉
Hope y’all are sleeping in. Why am I awake?
what is the significance of a dutch oven?
i have a very very old cast iron one~ mrD’s Mema’s one… prolly 60+ yrs old.
i’m just learning to really cook… i inherited a set of time-life cookbooks & figured i’d give it a whirl… much of it seems to be calling stuff i was already doing by a new name (^.^)
two of my new-to-me cookbooks are frnch cooking… one seems like plain country cooking, the other is fancier ‘company’ food… meats in aspic kinda thing.
Naw’lins cooking seems like that too…Creole or Acadian…
anyway… sounds good~ when are you hosting the docudharma meet-up??
music vid was v. neat.
