  • When you prepare asparagus the French way, you have more of it to eat, it cooks faster, it stays greener and tastes fresh from the garden. Asparagus is delicious plain or served with a buttery orange sauce for a change, and it's most unusual in a soup, custard or a quiche.

    I've been wondering what to do with my Norwegian cheese slicer. Thanks to Paul Child it's got another job! Thanks, my friend!

    I am one of those people that can't stand the taste of canned or frozen asparagus. Even fresh, if it goes past tender crisp the flavor I hate starts to appear. Alton Brown talked about this and apparently it is a genetic thing where about 1 out of 35 people detect that off putting flavor. I also like them raw.
    I've been peeling asparagus for a long time because to get the bottom half tender without overcooking the tips to my tastes means removing that outer layer. I usually roast them over boiling or steaming them but peeling them is definitely the way to go.
    I'm finding that I have been fixing many vegetables in the past by the similar methods Julia uses without anyone showing me that way to do it just by using my cooking intuition. This is another one that's very close to how I prepare asparagus already. But I will say that the buttered mushroom rice in her cookbook is a new one that is a smash with the missus and glad I found that technique.

      It can taste like sulfur. You can smell the sulfur the next day when you pee. It is a member of the cabbage family. And I do love to eat it though, with just butter and flaky salt.

    I love steamed asparagus, cold, with some shallots and my own vinaigrette. I took some to a party once and it was gone in no time.

    Asparagus should, like pasta, be Al dente. In California asparagus is grown where the wind blows so it’s not always straight. As long as it’s fresh, it’s just as good. Also, I snap mine, but either make a cream soup with the butts or compost them. Nothing wasted.

    Well, I buy the smaller diameter ones and roast them with pepper, garlic, and oil, or some variation for a few minutes at 425 degrees F.
    Delightfully fresh. Had them last night. I prefer them plain, not much on hollandaise except with a few things.

    She used geometry! She knew her bunch was 2 1/2 inches wide, therefore it would need a little more than 16 inches of string to tie it (multiply by "pi", then to go around twice, by 2 again). People used to have more education.

    She did boil the living Hell out of that asparagus. If this were in color, the asparagus would still be in black and white.

      Yes overdone. In her later shows, she cooks it less. People used to overboil as well as oversalt. I love it when she salts food straight from the grocery salt container, very dated!
