Julia Child taught us all to love French food. I remember watching her TV show with my mom when I was a kid. Mom would take notes and follow along in one of her Julia cookbooks. Mom loved Julia’s recipes, and often turned to them when entertaining. Over the years, mom found that sometimes she just didn’t have the time to prepare some of Julia’s more detailed recipes – like her Boeuf Bourguignon. So, mom created her own, less time consuming but equally delicious version. I have put it at the center of this menu, pairing it together with other French-inspired recipes of ours. So, treat your friends and family to a taste of France in your home with this dinner. Bon appétit!
