Dear Candy,
I plan on making Boeuf Bourguignonne for Christmas dinner. I started my research on looking up different recipes as well as blogs. Of all my findings (25 blogs/recipes)yours was the one that made the most precise sense. I do not feel at all intimidated after seeing how you illustrated each step. Thank you so much for your beautiful photos and know how. I am armed with the ingredients and the courage. Can’t wait!

Thanks for the comment, and thank you again for posting such excellent pics! Without your help, I never would have been able to find the salt pork in the grocery store. Thanks for facilitating a first-timer’s attempt at a difficult but great recipe!

You’re welcome John! Thank you for posting the recipe on your site, it was very helpful.

M – I’ll have to look that Julia Moskin recipe up. Just be sure to set some towels below your monitor while you lick the screen.

I really must try the Julia Child Recipe at some point – your dinner is making me attempt to lick my screen! I used the recipe Julia Moskin wrote about in the NY Times when I made this for dinner a few weeks ago and it was delicious as well…but I really must try both.

I love dishes where it simmers in a huge pot. This must have hit the spot.

Hey if I can do it you can do it. But I agree, a Sunday would be good to try it rather than a weekday. I had to split it into two days during the weekday, and it was time consuming. But the result is well worth it.

Ok, NOW I can pronounce it. hehe

What a beautiful recipe. I hope I can work up the nerve to try it one of these days. With the cooler weather we’ve been having this looks like a wonderful Sunday project. Warm crusty bread and mashed potatoes..yummm!

Shari – Thank you. It was well worth the effort, I agree. Mashed potatoes are a great idea too! I served it over rice.

Chiara – Everyone is making this lately. I don’t know why, but it’s funny. Ravioli eh? I wonder what I can do with leftovers…my mom suggested serving it over ‘haw fun’ (those Chinese wide flat rice noodles).

Wow, everyone is making it. I made it too a few nights ago. And with the leftovers I made filling for my ravioli… delicious!

Love all your pictures! I just made this the other night too, lot of step, but it was sure worth it! I served my over mashed potatoes, yummy.
