MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING IN EASTPORT
Today was a rainy and dreary day - what to do. How about preparing a classical French meal from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child. It seemed quite simple - read the recipe, follow the rules and take no shortcuts. So - I did and the results were fantastic. We fasted on: Martinis, sreak au poivre, crepes de pommes de terre, concombrs au beurre, beaujolias villages, chocolate sorbet and chocolat petit ecolier. Everything turned out perfectly and this was my first time trying Julia Child's somewhat difficult recipes. We dedicated the dinner to Martha who is still in France and is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. I may duplicate the meal for her when she comes to visit in August. What a lovely and productive way to spend a rainy cloudy day.
