julie and julia inspired french cooking - first result is pear tarte tartin!



After seeing Julie and Julia with Mum, we have both been inspired to cook, all week and ala francais!

First, we both enjoyed the movie so much. Mum is an excellent cook and loves cooking. She regularly has two dishes on the go in the mornings before 8 am. She relishes feeding people and finding the ingredients they love.

So, seeing this particular movie with her was a delight. And seeing her laugh so hard she was crying was contagious.

Mum has cooked up some goodies this week, and purchased a cast iron french oven. She got a great price at Victoria's Basement. Her fist creation was from the north eastern region of France, with chicken, mushrooms, pale ale, cream and was light and lovely.

And, she helped me make a delicious Pear Tart Tartin, surprisingly easy. It was lovely warm and is good cold with a bit of yoghurt accompanied by French press coffee for breakfast.
