French Cooking Update

So far the French Onion Soup, Beouf Bourguignon, Chicken Fricassee and Onion and Potato Soup are wonderful!
I did make a mistake on the Fricassee and the sauce was not as creamy as it should have been.
I have learned the difference between a saute, fricassee and stew. I have also learned that so far nearly every recipe starts the same--butter, onion and carrot. Much different than my tendency toward Italian food and starting every dish with sauteed garlic and onion!
I hope you are enjoying some cooking adventures too!
