Breast of Chicken au Champagne

I’m not sure how essential the champagne was for this dish, it just kind of tasted like chicken with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup poured on top. I DID enjoy drinking the surplus champagne, however.

Cottage Fried Potatoes

I wasn’t able to flip this dish like the recipe called but the potatoes were still an excellent accompaniment to the Steak Diane.

Steak Diane

A very simple recipe that combines a simple pan fried steak with a shallot, Worcestershire sauce and butter spread over top. But a big winner with my girlfriend. Very tasty.

Petite Marmite Henry IV (Clear Soup with Meat and Vegetables)

So simple. Just a meat and veggie broth soup but it was one of the best recipes I’ve made so far in the book. Definitely one I will go back to again and again. I think of the things I most liked about it was the use of turnip instead of potatoes and the thin strips which all the veggies were cut into.

Whitehall Chocolate Roll

I made this as my Buche de Noel for my classic French Christmas dinner. It’s a chocolate cake with a chocolate/coffee liqueur mousse filling and chocolate flavored whipped cream on top. How could it not be a hit, right? The only thing I wish is that I took it out of the fridge earlier so that it was served closer to room temperature to soften the cake up a bit. Still, a great cake.
