The French build many of their dishes on Sauces. That's why they are so great! Try this simple fix and see! |

| I have always admired the French cooking technique of including a sauce in almost everything that they cook. It is a method that improves almost everything. There are some very sophisticated techniques and standing formulations for these sauces (the Five Mother Sauces and their progeny, for those of you that are already there). However, if this is a Wednesday night (like... Read More |

| 1/18/2010 10:58:31 AM |
| Happy Monday! After a long and active weekend, it might be a great time to consider a simple stew and a glass of great wine with some delicious crusty bread for dinner tonight. I plan to post the recipes for some stews this week and discuss some to the vessels designated for making these types of dishes. However, I thought we might start off the week with a bit of trivia...

One of the things that I really like to do on such a great day is to enjoy a great glass of wine and some cheese out on the patio while I watch the dos frisk around. Truth be known, I enjoy wine and cheese inside on miserable days, as well. My tastes have turned to the... Read More |
