Plus he's pretty easy to please when it comes to a home-cooked meal. <br /><br />Planning to see Julie&Julia this weekend. And sorry, not much help with the recipes. I'm a dessert baking mostly.

It all sounded wonderful.<br />I looked through my cookbooks, but the only thing I could find was a mention of combining mushrooms and grated parmesan cheese as a filling for puff pastry appetizers. No recipe though, except for the voul-au-vents pastry. <br />The meal sounded great. I want that dessert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-74182541786015273282009-08-18T21:30:46.549-04:002009-08-18T21:30:46.549-04:00Thanks, everyone.

To die for. The restaurant has since closed, the French owners moved back to France. i agree with Jessica that cognac may have been used.
