Leena Eats: The big one–The French Laundry.

Leena Eats: The big one The French Laundry.
I’m not worthy, Mr. Keller! But I sure as hell am gonna pretend I am as I eat your delicious-ass food!

So, I dreamed about it. Made grand plans with friends to go there while drinking too much wine. I never actually thought I’d go there, at least not any time in the near future, and then something awesome happened. I had a baby, and because the entire process (except the end result) SUCKED, my awesome husband got me a gift certificate to the mecca of all food places…The French freaking Laundry, people.

Are you ready for some killer food porn of the highest culinary degree? Really? Are you sure? You might want to grab a sandwich, cuz I won’t be responsible for your drool-soaked keyboards. Food pron, French Laundry style after the jump.

Leena Cooks n Bakes: Leek Bread Pudding with Roasted Tomatoes

Leena Cooks n Bakes: Leek Bread Pudding with Roasted Tomatoes

My take on Ad Hoc's Leek Breading Pudding, made with challah bread and mozzarella cheese.

On a rainy winters night in the Bay Area (with lows of almost 40 F- thank GOD I missed Chicago’s Snowmaggedon!), nothing tastes better than warm, cheesy comfort food, and for me, that means rocking out some leek bread pudding with roasted tomatoes. The soft, silky sweet leeks, the crunchy bread and the eggy custard bound together by melty, stringy cheese haunts my dreams and my pregnancy cravings until I wake up chewing my own pillow. Which? Tastes like dirt and cat hair. Awesome.

Definitely time to rock out some leek bread pudding. The recipe and food porn after the click.

Leena Eats: Bouchon Bakery

Leena Eats: Bouchon Bakery

Just a sampling of the delicious baked goodies at Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery in Yountville.

Ah, northern California, home to dozens of chef-celebrities and some crazy ridiculously delicious food. It’s a hard life I lead.

Chef Thomas Keller, owner of The French Laundry, Bouchon Cafe and Ad Hoc restaurants, knows how to feed a bitch. Since I am years away from being able to afford his fancier restaurants, I decided to splurge on a trip to his gourmet bakery in the tiny picturesque town of Yountville.

Heaps of food porn after the jump!
