Savory Sight: Dorie's French Supper Menu

What's the easiest, most elegant meal you've ever prepared?

by Yum Community

What's the easiest, most elegant meal you've ever prepared? Well, kateparham knows her answer.

Never one to turn down a good competition, I couldn't resist entering Chez Pim's Dinner @ 8 challenge: Dorie's French Supper Menu. Ok, the cookbook giveaway might have also had a little something to do with it. But, I must say, after participating in this challenge, I have become (even more so) a fan of Chez Pim's new Dinner @ 8 feature. The concept is simply brilliant: a food blog that walks readers through not only one recipe, but an entire meal, complete with step-by-step instructions for the entire menu. Although Dorie's French Supper Menu was time consuming (it took me exactly 3 hours from start to finish), it was one of the easiest, most elegant meals I've ever prepared.
