I just finished Julia Child's memoir "My Life in France" and couldn't help but feel like I'd been denying my oven the love it deserves.
Backyard grilling comes and goes with the seasons, but oven love - that's forever.
So, I paid call on my local butcher and purchased a four pound poulet. I also paid call on my local greenmarket to pick up a loaf of freshly baked sourdough, as well as peppery arugula and baby scallions straight from the farm. I put all of those ingredients and more to good use. Riffing off of Zuni Cafe's Roast Chicken with Bread Salad recipe, my oven lovin' efforts are pictured above.
Mon ami. Mon amour. Mon four.
As Julia would say: Bon appetit!
I follow you VIA GFC and I love your blog!
