"I saved this recipe from Gourmet magazine 1983 and when guests come to QC, they indulge in french cuisine of all kinds. This is a favorite at our place; friends and family drool over this delicious onion soup. Camembert is a change from the usual swiss cheese and it is a popular request from guests."

I'm a "newbee" to this site, but not to cooking. I love great food and to share recipes and this site is great! I don't know where the information of a "fry cook" came from, but I would consider myself anything else but that :) A NYC girl originally, lived in London and Canada where I am now. Met lots of interesting people along life's way who taught me a great deal and enriched my life with their knowledge of cooking. With my children now adults, the family has doubled in size and my commitment to making memories to pass down to another generation inspires me to cooking. I find cooking a creative expression of one's personality and never tire of new challenges in the kitchen.
