A Baking Blog from Melbourne, Australia
With winter fast approaching, the choice of fruit to choose from is a little less than it is in the summer months. But the good old fashioned apple is hard to pass up, especially when the idea of hot apple pie on a cold night are lingering in the back of my mind. The smell of apple and cinnamon cooking really does get the taste buds going. …
Has anybody out there seen the movie Julie and Julia? I’m sure there are a few, if you haven’t you need to crawl out of that rock you have been hiding under and go and rent it! What are you still doing here, go!! 🙂 Its brilliant, I happen to love it. I’m sure the movie introduced many into the world of blogging and some of the amazing blogs out there where inspired by or started because of it.
I personally have never cooked a Julia Child’s recipe, I know how can that be! The way people talk about her beef bourguignon I really must try it. I have looked at the recipe and thought, wow thats a bit full on, so have gone for something simpler.
I’m sorry to tell you that today I’m not bringing you a Julia Child recipe, I am however bringing you the first thing you see Julie make in the movie when she has had a pretty depressing day, she comes home and says “I love that after a day when nothing is sure, and when I say “nothing” I mean nothing, you can come home and absolutely know that if you add egg yolks to chocolate and sugar and milk,it will get thick. It’s such a comfort”.Yep thats right folks I made that irresistible chocolate pie!!!
Every time I watch the movie thats the recipe I want to make, forget Julia’s recipes, I want chocolate pie! So last week when the movie aired on TV, I saw that pie and could resist no more. I did a quick google search and stumbled upon a blog that said they had the recipe and it happened to be the actual director of the movies chocolate pie, Nora Ephron. Sooooo there was no stopping me now that I had this hot little recipe in my hand. If you would like the true recipe find it on Sleepless Foodie blog, or use my slightly adjusted version, which of course is more chocolatey and an absolute winner. I think I might just have to make it every time the movie is on, I couldn’t get enough of it.
