One of my favourite celebrity chef is Ina Garten. Her recipes are simple and delicious. I like watching watching her show because it is not just about the food, it is also about gardening, travel and entertaining. I like her relationship with her husband. He lets her take the stage and you would never guess he is a professor. Her show makes me want to visit the Hamptons or live there, I think I would enjoy it if I could afford it!
One of Ina’s favourite destinations is France. She is always talking about their visits to the bistros and buying all kinds of bread. It was on her show that I learnt about Brioche bread. Before that, brioche was a knitting stitch that I have so far failed to master.
Saying Brioche, makes me feel like I know a little French. Perhaps one day I will be able to travel to France the different kinds of bread available there/
I used the recipe from Simply Delicious Food. Do not be like me. Read the whole recipe first, this bread needs to be refrigerated overnight. My guess is to allow the butter and eggs to be absorbed into the flour
I had this bread with some Zimbabwean tomato sauce and it was just . I was happy not to have to share with anyone.
Here is the recipe from Alida.
