Veal Chops Surprise
This dish, which was featured in The Sunday Times Magazine in 2006, is a fussy dish that takes time, but impresses with its creativity and depth of rich flavor. The result of hard work in the kitchen is revealed with panache at the table, when dinner guests open their steaming packets of parchment paper to find a perfectly cooked veal chop swathed in mushrooms, ham and shallots. Cue applause!
Julia Child's Caramel Custard
There are a few tricks to making this delicious custard from Julia Child and Alex Prud’homme, which was featured in The Sunday Times Magazine in 2006. Don’t overcook the caramel, and make sure that the baking water only simmers, never boils. When mixing the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisk constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Individual ramekins can be used in place of a charlotte mold, but dial back the cooking time.
Chicken Waterzooi
Waterzooi, a wine-deep Belgian stew originally made with fish, but more recently of chicken, was one of Julia Child’s favorite dishes, first taught to her in Paris by the chef Max Bugnard. She gave the recipe to The New York Times in 1987. It is easy weeknight cooking: the dish can be assembled in the morning before work, or even the night before. Then, in the evening, simmer it for about half an hour, and then use the cooking liquid to make a light but creamy sauce. Serve with potatoes or good bread.
