French Cooking

French cooking appears to be all about butter, cream and wine. They're your staples and then there is the celery, carrot and onion little sort of base thats at the bottom of your dishes. So, I've been practicing with a few little casseroles and they are very nice. The whole family are licking their plates clean.That has never happened, apart from Pizza night. Served with a bed of creamy mash may be helping but gosh it nice to cook something people want to eat. Im actually looking foward to trying a few more dishes. Usually I'm a baker but I'm feeling a shift happening which is probably a good thing. One day we will do our bakery tour of Paris and look back to the pretend chocolate croissants we used to make and smile.
