A few weeks ago I was at home from work (sick) with DS2 (also sick). I spent the few days vegging on the couch watching movies. I stumbled across Julie & Julia and fell in love with cooking all over again.

I ordered myself a copy of Julia Childs Master the Art of French Cooking and it arrived (finally) a couple of weeks later.

I cracked open my new cookbook on the weekend and made a start with:
  • Gnocchi de Pommes de Terre
  • Quiche aux Champignons
  • Biscuits a la Cuiller


Using her soup-making methods I also made a delicious chicken soup and a minestrone.

I am just so proud of me for cooking such awesomely delicious food for my family!

I read my book every chance I get (to the point of having fun poked at me) and find endless inspirationin the pages.... I'm developing quite a love affair with butter!
