Let's celebrate Julia Child's birthday on Saturday, August 15th. Bon Appetit has a great menu all lined up for the occasion. I'm inspired to go through her masterpiece, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and make something really special. I also think it's not a fete unless champagne is involved...so champagne for all! Vive la Julia!
First of all, this pic is incredible! I want a piece of this cake...NOW. What a great idea to cook one of her recipes, in her honor. I will chill the champagne!
ReplyDeletewe must do it and then we should post pics! what do you say? it'll be like a "virtual reality party"!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great idea! I'm in! Now to pick a recipe...have you selected one yet?
ReplyDeletenot yet--
ReplyDeletei'll need to do some serious searching!
i'll get back to you on that one.
i have my champagne picked though. :)
OK...I'll begin searching too. I have a delicious Spanish 'sparkling wine' at home...do you think Julia would mind if I went with that rather than the traditional french ;)
ReplyDeleteCava!!! i'm a fan too!
ReplyDeleteYou got it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is my dream come true!! So beautiful and yummy! My all time favorite desert is a yellow cake or cupcake with a light pink frosting. Right now I am making angel food cupcakes and this awesome frosting I found from Pillsbury called Easy Frost. It comes in a whip cream style bottle. So yummy!!!
