Article by Dynie Sanderson from NapaFoodGalTravels. Movies and cooking! I decided to prepare the famed recipe Boeuf Bourguignon from the movie Julie and Julia, inspired by Julia Child’s iconic cookbook – “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. It seems like every time I watch a foodie movie I get motivated to cook one of the dishes prepared in whatever feature foodie film I am watching. This time was not much different. Last week, I was doing a food movie binge watch and one of the films that I indulged in was Julie and Julia which was released in 2009. It is still a foodie movie classic and always one of my favorites.

Three vintage volumes and three new ones Five years ago on a rainy Saturday in May, I went to an estate sale in the west end of Ottawa. After setting aside a few goodies I'd found on the main floor, mostly cake stands and glassware, I ventured down to the basement for a look see. While I was poking around a forlorn looking bookshelf, I spotted a copy of Volume One of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. How was this possible? Surely someone would have noticed it by now and scooped it up. After all, the sale was into its third hour. How lucky was I? Hmm... maybe it was a trap... With my obsession for anything having to do with both cooking, and vintage, I'd always been a fan of Julia Child's classic TV show, The French Chef. I baked frequently from her collaborative cookbook, Baking with Julia so acquiring The Art of French Cooking was a summer mission of mine. I carefully pulled the book from the shelf. It was in pristine condition, as though it had never seen a kitchen. I leafed through it for a few minutes and when I realized that it was printed in 1963 my heart started racing. It was a fourth printing, first edition copy. I sought out the estate sale's host and asked him how much the book was. He replied, "how about $5?" I was stunned. My expression must have come across to him as sticker shock because then he followed with, "OK, how about $3?" I gave him $5, snuggled the book to my chest and ran, forgetting all about the other goodies I'd set aside on the first floor! Handwritten crepe recipe I found in the original owner's book Later that summer, I was at the Stittsville Flea Market and as luck would have it, I spotted a first edition copy of Volume 2. That cost me $5 too. So a meagre ten dollars later, I had a pristine copy of volume one and two and my mission to explore them was afoot! Over the summer, I spent hours reading both books. By August I had mastered Vichy Carrots, Spinach Quiche, Souflée and Pâte à Choux while slowly gaining an understanding of what an enormous effort it must have been to take French recipes and translate them not only literally but culturally, for, in Mrs Child's words, "...the servantless American cook." I can't begin to imagine the logistics of completing such an enormous project during the 1950s and 1960s, by snail mail, back and forth, from country to country, to and from her collaborators. Thank you Mrs Child for your determination and your courageous, unparalleled and inspiring work. I just hope that when I pass away and if someone disposes of my worldly goods in an estate sale, they charge more for my copies of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Just to be sure, I'd better go put notes in them.
Julia Child's coq au vin is all it is cracked up be: a cracking-good recipe.
Julia Child would roll over in her Bordeaux wine cask if she could see what The 99 Cent Chef has done to her classic Beef Bourguignon recipe! And she would do a double-roll upon viewing my takeoff of her in my extra featurette video at the end of this blog post. Now doesn't it look like Beef Bourguignon? Well, it also tastes like it. This melange of meat, red wine, mushrooms and Pearl Onions is luscious, and the most expensive entree in any high-end restaurant; however this cheapie cooking plagiarist has come up with a 21 Century classic for these Wall Street stock-crashing times: Pork Bourguignon! My earliest food influence (besides mom) was watching "The French Chef With Julia Child" on Boston Public Television's WGBH (keep those funds flowing to public TV & radio, Obama). I was too young to copy her classic French cuisine, but her enthusiasm at the stove planted a virus that mutated into 99 Cent Chef cuisine -- cheap recipes presented with joie de vivre. Adding insult to injury, I shortened the cooking time (when the meat is tender, why cook longer?) and substituted cheaper cuts of meat, like 99 cents per pound pork or chicken (beef stock and 99 red cent wine provide most of the flavor). Unfortunately pearl onions do not come cheap (although I have found 99c jars of marinated ones), but I have saved you so much time and money so far, please indulge me with this one $2.49 per pound ingredient? Slow cooking mushrooms and pearl onions in a red wine and beef stock makes for a complex flavor profile. In these waning days of winter, put on a long braising pot of The Chef's Pork Bourguignon, based on Julia Child's classic recipe, and Bon Appetit! Ingredients (serves 4) 3-4 pounds of country style pork ribs, shoulder or butt, cubed (I've even tried this with chicken. If you have extra overtime money coming in, go for beef roast meat). Bacon - about 3 slices (optional) 10 oz. package of pearl pnions (about 20 onions) - Peel onions. Or two jars of marinated cocktail ones, drained (I have found jars in 99c Only Stores!) 2 5 oz. containers of mushrooms - brown or white button. Aromatics including: one cup each of onion, carrot, celery and bell pepper. Use any or all, roughly chopped. 2 tbsps. garlic - jar or fresh 1 tbsp. tomato paste - okay to use 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. 2 tbsp. flour Dried or fresh herbs including: 1 bay leaf and a pinch of oregano, sage and thyme. Bay leaf is the main one. 1 bottle of 99c red wine (or Two Buck Chuck) - minus what the chef tastes during sauteing! Beef stock - 32 ounces. Or 6 beef bouillon cubes dissolved in 4 cups of hot water. Salt and pepper to taste - plenty of salt is added with bouillon cubes or beef stock, so you may not need much. Directions Saute bacon with meat until brown, about 20 minutes. Remove 1/2 the meat to make room for aromatics. Saute aromatics another 5 minutes to soften. Add tomato paste (or sauce), herbs, garlic and flour. Cook 5 minutes. Pour in the beef stock (or bouillon dissolved in water) and all the red wine you have left. Mix well, scraping bottom of pot to loosen and dissolve all the flavorful brown bits. Bring to a boil, then transfer to a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake covered for 1 1/2 hours. Peel and saute pearl onions in 2 pats of butter or oil until lightly browned, and now sweetened. Don't turn too much or they will fall apart - set aside. Slice mushrooms in half; if they are small throw in a few whole (I like large meaty mushroom bites), and saute in the same pan as the onions, for about 5 minutes until soft. Add sauteed onions and mushrooms after an hour and a half of baking Pork Bourguignon, and be careful - everything is hot! Cover and continue cooking for another hour. After baking for about 2 1/2 hours total, meat should separate easily with a fork. The pearl onions and mushroom will be unbelievably flavorful, infused with red wine and beef stock. Serve with boiled red potatoes or rice to soak up all the rich deep-brown sauce.
