Coq Au Vin – My Tribute to Julia Child

“I love cooking with wine – sometimes I even put it in the food!” – Julia Child One tough old bird.  No, not Julia. Although she certainly was, I have too much respect to talk in those tones when paying homage to the one-woman, gastronomic tour de force that wrote Mastering the Art of French Cooking,…

Braised Beef Shanks with Parsley Pecan Pesto

December 2, 2024 by George Graham 24 Comments

Braised Beef Shanks with Parsley Pecan Pesto

Let’s cut to the meat of this story–whole sectional cuts of beef are irresistible to me.  They harken back to pioneer days and more rustic farm-style butchering techniques.  But beef shanks are rarely seen whole in the supermarket.  My guess is that retailers fear that timid customers will panic and run screaming from the meat…

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon stands lining the side of the rural parish roads are an especially Southern thing.  Truckloads begin arriving as the temperature soars, and there is no better way to cool down than a slice of ice-cold watermelon on the back porch steps.  Or maybe there is: Watermelon Bread – hot out of the oven. I’ve…
