Gourmet brings to mind many things. Small stacks of ratatouille drizzled in orange sauce. Snow White pies, with picture perfect crusts. And, most importantly, Julia Child, the queen of french cooking.
I decided to start cooking gourmet I had to make something Julia Child.
Since my family is not big on the high-butter, high-cream recipes that the French use, I made the closest things I could find to American staples: Croque Monsieurs (basically fancy grilled cheese sandwiches) and Cheese souffle (kind of like a hot dish, right?).
Croque Monsieur & Cheese Souffle
Dessert: French Chocolate Cake
It was a huge success (although we were all VERY full afterwards), and I made sure to mark Croque Monsieurs as something to make again. Truth be told, cooking gourmet isn't that hard. Sure, it took a few hours, but I consider that part of the definition. As long as you know how to measure, stir, and flip sandwiches, anyone can cook. A great thing to check off your bucket list.
