Notes about this book

  • veronicafrance on July 03, 2021

    Mirlitons de Rouen: pretty little almond-based tarts, similar to a Bakewell tart. I didn't use puff pastry because I had some leftover pâte sablée, and I used wild cherry jam.

    Oreilles d'anes: Our new go to dinner! Can be tweaked based on what is in the pantry to avoid a trip to the store. I have found 275 grams of frozen spinach works nicely when I can't get fresh (defrosted and squeezed) and 50/50 Parmesan and aged white cheddar make a nice sub for Gruyere. Note: Add a little more milk to the Bechamel, and reduce the flour a bit.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Winter vegetable and crushed ham soup (La bréjaude)

    • KevinSeattle on March 18, 2022

      Imma bad Irishman: I made this for St. Paddy’s Day, and it was delicious. And a bonus: a one-pot dinner that really was one-pot. Only alteration: as the ham steak was very lean, I added a little rendered bacon fat for additional flavor, maybe a tablespoon which in these quantities was not much. Will definitely make again.

      This is very brothy - lots of liquid with a few bits of meat and veg floating in it. Nothing like the photo in the book. It's authentic, insofar as it would work as the soup course in a small rustic French restaurant, but rather weak for what we normally have for dinner. Suitably bulked out, with rice for example, it's very good and also serves as a decent stock.

  • Garlicky pork and potato scramble (Frésinat Albigeois)

      Benefits from more oil than recipe asks for, or something moist to accompany it, otherwise it risks drying out. That might be to your taste, of course, but it's not ours.
