Today I am here to wish my favorite cookbook author, Dorie Greenspan, a very Happy Birthday!  A group of us, current and former TWDers and FFWDers, banded together to create a virtual dinner party to celebrate how special she is to each of us.  We each chose a recipe from her new (and amazing!) cookbook Around My French Table. You can find the round up of great dishes on Holly’s site – Phemomenon.  (Suggestion? Wait until after you’ve eaten…this is one doozy of a delicious round up!)

I chose to make Roast Chicken for Les Paresseux, a very incredible poultry dish.  It is full of flavor, hearty, and a hands down winner!  While it does take a little time, every moment is worth it, and I see myself making it again soon!   I hope Dorie would find it a worthy Birthday Meal…I know I would!

For more recipes from Around My French Table, check out the French Fridays with Dorie site.  You really should buy the book – it’s incredible.

Special thanks to everyone who participated in making this party happen, and especially to Laurie and Holly for  putting it all together!
