Recipes and cooking commentary with a touch of humor.

Welcome to lizzycooks!

I love to cook. I collect recipes and cookbooks, enjoy food photography, and adore trying new restaurants. All of this food love inspired me to start this blog where I share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and other fun stuff. Enjoy your food!

Boeuf Bourguignon-First Attempt

Boeuf bourguignon. A delectable, glossy, rich, meat-wine-vegetable creation, full of umami. All of this magic happens after a long cooking process. This is one of Julia Child's classic creations and her recipe. I consider it high brow comfort food. It was a fun foodie experience to make this dish and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also watched the movie Julie & Julia twice while making it. After you create this dish your kitchen will smell like it should when Sunday dinner is served. 
 

When I made it I made slight modifications. I used white onion chunks instead of the small onions, regular (non-chunk) bacon, and Burgundy wine. 

Write me anytime with comments. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I did. Bon Appetit!
