I've been meaning to cook Boeuf Bourguignon a la Julia Child since seeing that film about the women who blogged her way through through "Mastering the Art of French Cooking".
Notwithstanding Meryl, who was excellent, the film left me cold; but it did inspire me to invite some friends for dinner tomorrow night and give the boeuf a try.
I followed the receipt to the letter, well most of the letters. I skipped the last part about straining the contents, washing the casserole and adding the sauce back to the meat; couldn't see the point.
It wants 2 1/12 hours in the oven on a low temperature which gave me time to work on another daube.
Step 1: Sketch the cow and block in light and shade.
Step 2: Add sunshine.
