Inspired by the book & movie, Julie and Julia, I will be embarking on a French cooking journey and making a series of recipes from the book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I will be interspersing these dishes with some healthier, less heavy meals, especially considering it is summer and ridiculously hot outside (i.e., not really a time for heavy stews and meats with cream). All recipes will be slightly adapted since I cannot be bothered to follow exact recipes.
Recipe 1: Potage Parmentier (Leek and Potato Soup)
4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups leeks, sliced
10 cups water
Boil and then simmer these ingredients for 50 minutes. Mash with potato masher. Add 2 to 3 tbsp of butter and decorate with fresh parsley before serving.
PS. This is not a recipe with a lot of butter and cream....wait for it!
