BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Classic Boeuf Bourguignon is one of the many reasons that I love French cooking.  It’s definitely a bit of a project so you should make it for the people you love as a gift.  It’s luscious and soul satisfying, everything you want the people you love to feel.

If you don’t have any Burgundy, Pinot Noir is a good substitute!

    We went to a French Restaurant a couple weeks ago and had this and it was wonderful. It will be on my table soon. I’d love to see Axelle’s version also.

    I read down to here to catch up with you, and I’m salivating all over the keyboard. We’re finally getting snow – 2′ in the last few days. Hope you’re getting some, too.
