Notes about Recipes in this book

• Poulet Basquaise

  • lkgrover on March 12, 2024

    Excellent chicken stew with lots of spices & vegetables. I served with roasted potatoes.

• Zucchini gratin with Parmesan & cream

  • lkgrover on September 26, 2024

    Good zucchini gratin, which blends Italian & French influences. I substituted fresh tarragon for basil, as suggested in the note.

• Gratin Savoyard with wild mushrooms

  • lkgrover on April 07, 2025

    Good side dish with potatoes and mushrooms (I used baby bellas). The beef stock made the recipe more savory than cream-based gratins.

• Smoked sausage with potato salad

  • Frenchfoodie on February 18, 2026

    Lovely potato salad, I liked with plenty of chopped gherkins vs the scant cornichons in the recipe.

• Spaetzle

  • lkgrover on December 09, 2024

    Easy recipe for spaetzle (German homemade noodles). I mixed in caramelized sliced onions and grated Asiago cheese to serve.
