Well I can report my Beef Bourgignon was really good! Yum nice and tender..... definitely make again. Although I do have a weird habit of making a recipe I have found, loving it, and then never being able to replicate the good result ever again!

Are you saying we are seeing this cullinairy delight pass into oblivion? You can't do that! You can't brag on this forum about how good your dish was and then not tell us how to make it! Not when I've been sitting here poised with pen and paper for the past week, waiting for the recipe.

Any vegetarians on here? I have a very good recipe to share for a great vegetarian dish. You'll need;

- 1 large potato
- 2 large carrots
- 2 turnips
- 1 leek
- 1 veggie stock cube
- 1 can of apple juice
- sweetcorn
- 150 gr (5,30 ounce) of cheddar cheese
- 300 gr (10,5 ounce) of flour
- 75 gr (2,65 ounce) of butter
- 75 gr of herbal, creamy cheese with garlic, such as Boursin

Heat 2/3 of the apple juice in a pan, and melt the stock cube in there. Then add the chopped potato and carrots, and boil for ten minutes. Add the chopped turnip, boil for another ten minutes. Add the leek, and boil again.
Meanwhile, put the flour with the butter in a large bowl, and grate in most of the cheddar cheese. Mix well until the dough gains a sand-like consistency.
When the veggies are done, take them off the fire and scoop them out into a deep oven bowl with a spatula, so that the juice remains in the pan. Mix the veggies with the sweetcorn and put the juice back on a small fire.
Melt the Boursin in the juice, and pour the mixture across the veggies. Then pour the dough mixture on top and spread evenly. Grate the leftover cheddar cheese on top of the dough.
Put in the oven on 180 degrees C or gas mark 4, for twenty minutes or until the crust is even brown.

There you are... not necessarely healthy or diet-friendly with so much butter and cheese, but very nice!

I'll want your Beef Bourgignon recipe in return, now, Nuytsia! Or my wrath shall be awakened!
