Morel Mushroom Cream Sauce and Puff Pastry
The aroma and flavor of elusive and pricey Morel Mushrooms are unsurpassed in the fungi kingdom, but sometimes you gotta have ’em!

Who am I to improve upon Julia’s french onion soup? It was more an accident than a plan, and I know that it is absolutely delicious.

Coq Au Vin
My first taste of Coq Au Vin was at a restaurant called, what else, Le Coq. They closed a few years ago and I wept because it was a favorite dish.
