My sweetheart and I are planning a road trip to Marseille  France.

I know nothing about Marseille.

For now I will rely on one of my favorite lady cooks, Julia Child, to show me the ropes of this mystery city through her cookbook.

I read cookbooks in bed.  Most of the recipes I drool over never make it from my bedroom to my kitchen, but they still manage to satisfy me.

The first challenge I have found… how to make a proper roux without wheat flour.  Let the games begin!
