Today would’ve been Julia Child’s 100th birthday, a woman who changed the way America cooks by introducing classic French methods and publishing “Mastering the Art of French Cooking“, one of the most famous cookbooks in history. To celebrate her birthday, I thought I’d cook a couple of easy, cost effective and time saving French recipes from her book, that anyone can make from the comfort of their own home. The first being these absolutely delicious sauteed mushrooms with breadcrumbs and butter, followed by creamed spinach and beef patties.
