e.dehillerin

E. Dehillerin carries culinary materials and hard to find kitchen tools

Don't be deceived by there enormous windows, this shop it actually quite tiny!

All the products are stacked in what seems like garage shelving, everything is a little disorderly and very dusty. It was sort of a disappointment :(

Okay, so get this.

(1) This house used to belong to Louisette Bertholle.

(3) Are you familiar with the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking written by Julia Chila (and co-written by Simone Beck + LOUISETTE BERTHOLLE)

(4) WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS HER KITCHEN!!!!!

These are her pots!

And pans! And kettles!

(1) Julia Child worked with Louisette Bertholle

(2) Louisette Bertholle used to live here

(3) Constance's Dad owns this house

(4) Constance is my friend

(5) Me

(6) You

Therefore, YOU know Julia Child through 6 degrees of separation! AHHH!!!!

ME COOKING IN HER KITCHEN:

Then we went through a box of her old typewritten recipes! WHAT IN THE WORLD! There wasn't any Mastering the Art of French Cooking recipes, however there were some correspondences between her and Julia. (Yes, I'm on a first name basis.) Most of the files we saw had to do with a project she was working on at the time - American cuisine for the French. which didn't fly.....I wonder why....not!

Exploding of happiness=

I bought all the produce at La Costa Fruit Stand, all of the veggies/fruit are local and organinc. Mmmmmmmm. So here is the menu of the evening:
