Next to the goats chees man... Favourite french dish would be Coq au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon, both of which I am trying to perfect, and having a lovely time doing that!

The meat was LITERALLY falling off the bone, and if there weren't any guests around, I think I would've sucked on the bone marrow myself. Oh and this book! I'll feel like a Julie Powell to Julia Childs because Clotilde Desoulier is an absolute inspiration of mine! Now if only I could do French cooking... This was such an awesome dish, Lorraine!
