One Skillet Coq Au Vin Blanc
In certain ways, this recipe is my origin story, of course, minus the movie deals with Disney. I was watching the movie “Julie & Julia”, which lead me to Julia Child’s Coq Au Vin recipe from her book, “The Art of French Cooking.” Interestingly, Julia’s book was actually the first cookbook I ever purchased for my budding passion for cooking. I wondered about making all kinds of recipes from her book, which included everything from mushroom sauces to learning how to debone a duck.
Hilariously, I have yet to make even one of her recipes in its original form. I considered making Julia Child’s Coq Au Vin and then read the part where you, “avert your face and ignite the bourbon.” One vision of singed eyebrows and I backed out like a coward. But that didn’t keep me from creating my version of the recipe – One Skillet Coq Au Vin Blanc!
