dessert

A bit of baking this weekend, inlcuding some delicious mini fresh strawberry tarts (using Julia Child's recipe) ...

 

And some "matching" typography from the studio ...

Hope you enjoyed (or are still enjoying - if you live in Victoria) your weekend.

oh, julia!

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child (et al) for Christmas, along with the movie "Julie & Julia". Yesterday, we decided to make Julia's classic Boeuf Bourguignon (beef stew in red wine, with bacon, onions and mushrooms)...

We made it as Julia intended, as authentically as we could. We served it with creamy mashed potato, and a full-bodied shiraz. This is a seriously good recipe - rich, flavoursome, yum - thankyou, Julia! Try it. Bon appetit!
