Sundays Creation, Coq au vin
Coq au vin in French literally means 'Rooster in Wine' and I guess thats what it is. But now the rooster has been replaced with a chicken. The wine traditionally used in Coq au vin is Burgundy wine, Pinot Noir is a good alternative though. Legend has it that Coq au vin was around in Julius Caesar times, but the recipe was first documented in the early 20th Century. But I am sure there are plenty of hand me down French family cookbooks with the recipe in it, or otherwise taught from mother to daughter through the centuries.
