Good morning everyone, today is Monday March 29, 2021. Well it seems the rain is gone for awhile. Seems there was some ruff weather last night thank god we missed it but we had no power for about two and a half hours. That just drives me crazy, but all turned out okay.
Back in 1976 , I would buy the New York Times on Monday morning because they had a new feature they had just started to get a younger audience and make the paper more friendly it was called The Living Section. It told about the upcoming events in the city, home issues but the one I liked was The 60 Minute Gourmet, it taught you how to cook a gourmet meal in 60 minutes. The author of this column was Pierre Franney, he was the head chef of La Pavillion some considered to be the best French Restaurant in New York. I had been there several times and it really did live up to its reputation. At that time before the food revolution of the 80’ s the New York Times said there was not a real , authentic French restaurant in the city other than La Pavillion. So I felt I would learn to cook from the best, so each week I tried the recipes, in my quest to learn to cook. I did fairly well. But it actually took the pandemic years later for me to teach myself to learn to cook. Now I feel I’m pretty good. But back to Franney, I recently found his book The 60 Minute Gourmet and actually been making recipes from it. The funny thing is now they are considered vintage recipes, however most of his techniques have been copied by many famous chefs of today. So what goes around comes around again. This was a fun post and brought back some memories and that’s what memories do give us a sort of pleasure.
Today I start my preparations for Easter, so I will be busy this week. Enjoy your day and have some fun. Talk soon, Til Tomorrow.
