"The words Julia Child and beef bourguignon put a big smile on my face. Julia Child was and still is – in my eyes – the best TV personality of all time. Followed by Bob Ross, of course. And beef bourguignon evokes the culinary senses with a tingling of anticipation of a memorable meal, shared with friends and a good bottle of red wine. Julia Child is quoted as saying that beef bourguignon is “certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man.” So how can we bring two top-tier joys of life into our home and make it ours? It’s not that hard. We might not reach the zenith of Julia Child’s beef bourguignon, but we can get pretty close to the peak. This dish is very forgiving and just seems to turn out absolutely fantastic every time. Don’t be intimated."
