Easy pretentiousness can be tough to resist when you’re an amateur chef — especially if you’re trying to impress a date. For example, there’s no reason to start the name of this recipe in French. It’s Beef in a Red Wine Sauce – easy to prepare and sophisticated on arrival. Still, you have to throw in all those mashed Franco-phonic vowels to class it up a little.
