| Yesterday, I went to my local library, and this is one of the books I checked out. I haven't been able to put it down, and it's sure making me dream of Paris all the more. I also checked out a few French cuisine inspired cookbooks, so I'm looking forward to the smells in my kitchen. Stay tuned, I won't be as ambitious with my first attempts as Julia was... (brains in red wine - which she says was terrible). I'll try something a little more child friendly, as most of my eating companions are under the age of eight. I saw the movie inspired by Julia Child's life about a year ago. I think I'm going to check it out again... but first I'm going to savor this book. :-) Have a fabulous week. |
I once cooked brains for my hubby as he had remarked on more than one occasion that his mum cooked them for him when he was a child. I dipped them in flour and egg and breadcrumbs and shallow fried them. They were golden brown and looked delicious but had the consistency of custard. Not a pleasant sensation. I asked if I'd done them the wrong way and I hadn't. He's never mentioned them since :)

Hahaha! It's so true. They don't translate at all. :-)
