It looks great. I just made a vegan Mushroom Bourguignon too (photos coming). What is the white piece on the right top - is it sour cream? Well maybe not as that wouldn't be vegan.

It is vegan yoghurt. Not my idea I hasten to add but my partner thought it would be nice.

Great idea @morning glory to add chestnuts. I bet that was delish!

Have you ever made Boeuf Bourguignon or perhaps Mushroom Bourguignon? If not, then now is your chance to try! If you have cooked a Bourguignon before, you can share your wisdom and cook along too. The idea of the Cookalong is that members cook a classic recipe within a certain timescale and share their experience. Its a bit of fun and a chance to learn. Please join in!

This well-known dish has its roots in the Burgundy region in France. The most common given history for the dish is that it was a peasant dish that was raised to a higher level by professional chefs. Auguste Escoffier is often quoted as the chef that modernised and published the recipe in "Le Guide Culinaire" (1903). It was followed by dozens of similar recipes published by various authors in the next decade. His recipe uses a single piece of beef rather than the cubes of beef which are more often used nowadays.

There is an interesting article here which compares various Chef’s recipes and includes a final tested recipe. I will post a recipe for Mushroom Bourguignon below - from a trusted source: Nigel Slater.

Please add your comments, photos, experiences to this thread. Provisional closing date midnight Tuesday 10th October (BST (UCT/GMT+1). Please let us know if you intend to join in.
