Boeuf Bourguignon

After buying "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," it's almost silly not to make Boeuf Bourguignon. So, here's my attempt.



Recipe ideas for later - Molten chocolate cake, cheese souffle, apple tart tatin... any ideas?

((EDIT: Apparently, it's pronounced "key-aunti," not "shee-auntie." Thank you, Harrison.))

Steak, Brussel Sprouts, and Potatoes

Hi, I'm Jenny. And I cannot cook. Yet.

I'm an absolute addict when it comes to cooking shows. Food Network, Top Chef, No Reservations... if someone's cooking, I'm watching. But I had never tried to cook anything (though I am a wiz at scrambling an egg.)

So for my first adventure, I tried cooking a steak for the first time, with a side of brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Here we go.

((PS - Just so you know, there was about an hour of footage before I got this down to the ten minute Youtube limit. Thank god for that limit, or this video would have been painful to watch.))
