I will say though that it is a wee bit time consuming to make, but every bite is worth it. Between my dad’s birthday party and the small dinner party I just hosted, I have had 15 official taste testers for this dish. It is a unanimous hit.

Although I have not compared my cleaned up version below head to head against the one at the Parisian, I do have to say it is probably the dinner party dish that I have received the most ooh’s and aaahs from ever. Boo =(īut the flavor of the dish we had at the Parisian Restaurant was so amazing that I just had to try a clean remake at home.

COQ AU VIN JULIA CHILD HOW TO
I immediately left the restaurant to research how to make an authentic Coq au Vin recipe and sure enough it involved butter. To be honest, I was afraid to order the recipe off the menu because I was sure it was loaded with butter, but one of the couples we were dining out with ordered it and I couldn’t resist having a bite. I had heard of Coq au Vin for years but never actually tried it until an authentic French bistro, The Parisian Restaurant, opened in our area recently. Child later demonstrated the dish in her spinoff television show, The French Chef, bringing this hearty traditional chicken entree into the homes of Americans who might otherwise have never been exposed to French cuisine. The incredibly flavorful Coq au Vin, also known as “Rooster in Red Wine”, is a French recipe made famous by Child and was featured in her 1961 cookbook, Mastering the A rt of French Cooking. I made the dish for the first time for my dads 90th birthday and it was such a hit that I made it again the very next weekend for a small dinner party I hosted for a few close friends (that’s the dinner party photo to the left I started the meal off with my Caesar Salad topped with roasted red peppers and anchovies, which is what is shown in the photo.) If you are looking for a super special dinner party entree then I would say this clean remake of Julia Child’s Coq au Vin Recipe should definitely be in the running.
