Does anyone else still use this as a reference, and if so, do you recall any especially good recipes?

Have to remember that Julia was playing historian and reporting French recipes the way they were told to her, not trying to improve on them, although she did occasionally make suggestions that might not be in accord with the orthodox view. I bet your BB includes components that her recipe does not. She restricts her herbal content to thyme, while you or me would probably add a couple of other herbs. In fact I have the hardest time making BB without turning it into a daube with black olives and rosemary.....
