Frenchy No.1

Sometime ago after reading Julie and Julia (book) I was inspired to do what she did, cook french food. I debated between greek or french. The greek part was so I can learn my greek cooking but then I thought nahhh.
So I borrowed a french cookery book 'French by Damien Pignolet' he is one of Australia's finest chefs.
Of course I started with an easy soup. It consists of potatoes, leeks, onion, and chicken stock. At first I was skeptical, my greek mother and sister ain't going to like this. But let me tell you, they both thought out loud 'is that all'. They wanted MORE.
There was some leftover but maybe not for the three of us. French food is rich a little goes a long way but not for the greek with the big eye.
Well, I've made the icecream cake a few times and that is now the preferred over the bought ones.
Bon apetite.

Yummy

The ice cream cake was yummy and the good thing about this, is that you don't have to devour the whole thing as a small portion just fixes that sweet need. (Us girls have that craving from time to time)
The dairy-free cake "AKA Depression cake" was eaten with success. Phew! I really want easy cakes like this as I cannot be bothered looking for substitutes for the ingredients I can't use.

After reading Julie & Julia : my year of living dangerously by Julie Powell, this author decided to cook the entire french cooking book by Julia Child (America's answer to Elizabeth David or Margaret Fulton) So now, I also want to tackle to learn to cook French but then I decided to go Greek. So I will be perfecting my greek cooking.

I wonder how long this interest will last? For the record I only last about 2 weeks.
