Tried Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon yesterday. I thought it would be a recipe where you cook for an hour or so, then put it in the oven for a couple hours until done. Nope. I mean, you do that, but while the main component of it did exactly that, but it calls for three other components you have to make while the main component is in the oven. It is a lot of active cooking.
Was super good, though. Crazy rich and savory.
I make a wide variety of stuff that I really like, but this is probably in my top two or three.
