There are enough soup recipes that we make that don't fit in the standard dutch oven. My favorite pot is a kitchen aide cast iron dutch oven (it's not all that big) but I love it for slow braising.<br /><br />I've never tried to make French bread. Now I'm curious.

It's called a "stock pot", but it's shorter and rounder than my tall stock pot. I think it would be perfect for a big batch of pot luck soup, stew or chili. <br /><br />Yeah. The French bread seems to demand 6-7 hours of rising and waiting, but as I like French bread and am not really a fan of sour dough, I could see myself starting in the morning to make a loaf of French bread for supper. Besides. I'm not out there working an 8-12 hour day. If I'm home anyway... :)Lauraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521054238842667014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369493130283425436.post-20898116212940318092012-01-04T08:57:24.160-07:002012-01-04T08:57:24.160-07:00I studied a recipe for sour dough bread yesterday ...I studied a recipe for sour dough bread yesterday but there was a LOT of "waiting" time - baking a batch was almost a 24 hour process. Don't think I want to mess with that kind of commitment!<br /><br />Please post your new favorite recipe finds! I'm trying to picture a 10 L pot, feeding the 3 of you! Leftovers?

I...Yes, Chris. I'm releasing my inner Julia :)<br /><br />I'll start with Carbonnades a la Flamande, Dixie. (Beef and Onions braised in beer) I'll be serving it with tiny buttered potatoes and peas. Maybe French bread if I feel brave and energetic :)Lauraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521054238842667014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369493130283425436.post-39401082238327832482012-01-03T21:00:23.932-07:002012-01-03T21:00:23.932-07:00I've decided to cook more creatively when we g...I've decided to cook more creatively when we get back to MB.
