Julia Child’s Brandade á la Soissonaise (White Bean Dip) for #Sunday Supper #cookforjulia

This is my first time participating in the Sunday Supper weekly group. I am always looking for new food blogger groups to join and when I heard the Sunday Supper group was all about Sunday family home cooked meals I happily joined. For my first week participating the theme was Julia Child recipes. I only learned about Julia Child after watching the Julie and Julia movie but I got to know more about it after reading her memoir. She’s seems like an amazing woman, a true wiz in the kitchen, and I happily recreated one of her recipes. After some research I found this Brandade a la Soissonaise (White Bean puree) from the Julia Child’s Kitchen cookbook. I can’t take credit for actually flipping through the cookbook to pinpoint this one recipe – the credit goes to Kalyn from Kalyn’s Kitchen. One of the food blogs I follow, Kalyn’s has a ton of great recipes with a focus on healthy eating so when I saw this recipe on her site I knew it would be a hit.

A no cook dish, this white bean spread was delicious. Similar to hummus in that it’s a puree of beans with tahini, this white bean spread is even better. Who knew Julia Child had her own take on hummus? What I do know, is that her version is a keeper.

Helpful Kitchen Tools for this Recipe:
• KitchenAid KFP7I5 7-Cup Food Processor, White - the star of this recipe is really the food processor – it’s all you really need to throw this together. This is my favorite model and is perfect for so many different recipes, a kitchen investment if you will.
