Prologue: The Gift

For the first time in several Christmas I received more presents than I can remember. My brothers graciously bestowed upon me a watch and store bought sushi(my older brother's idea of a joke). My parents gave to me two cookbooks: a thai cookbook(I can't remember the title) and French home cooking. This blog will center mostly around the gift from my girlfriend's family, a cookbook entitled, "En Cuisine avec Sophie: 52 semaines, 52 menus" roughly translated "Cooking with Sophie, 52 weeks, 52 menus.


This book offers a 4 course meal every week, for all 52 weeks of the year. My goal will be to cook each and every recipe/meal in this cook as listed. Since the book is printed in French, I expect this to be my greatest challenge(translating it from French to English), and also converting the metric measurements to English ones.
