beef bourguignon.

Since 2010 I have always wanted to make beef bourguignon. I remember watching the movie Julie & Julia and telling myself before I go to college I need to make this recipe. Well that was 5 years ago (time does really go by) and I finally convinced myself I need to make it! I am so glad I listened to myself.

A few of my friends and I won Junior Iron Chef Competition so I knew that I could cook this recipe! This stew is so yummy and flavorful! I really liked the use of thyme in it and the fresh mushrooms and carrots were the perfect touch to this dish.

I still can't believe that after all of those years of wanting to make this dish, I finally made it. It's bittersweet in a way that my highschool years are coming to a close and a new journey is awating me. (sorry to get so sentimental in a cooking post!)

    Congratulations Melissa, that is fantastic on your win. My daughter is a Culinary Arts teacher [she attended Johnsons & Wales for school] and she is often a judge for competitions and I know she would have loved to sample your dish.

    It's okay to be sentimental in your posts, you are getting ready to make a big change and I know in my heart you are going to have such a grand time and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
    Happy Easter to you my dear.
