Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Salad of Jersey Royals with asparagus

    • veronicafrance on May 07, 2025

      Simple and effective. We ignored the faffy instructions for the asparagus. The sauce is very similar to the lemon butter I habitually make for artichokes. It did pretty much swamp the mint flavour of the potatoes! I would make it again though, it’s a nice way of showcasing perfect spring vegetables.

  • Braised chicken thighs with endive and bacon

    • veronicafrance on January 29, 2026

      A truly excellent recipe which is a staple in our household. The sauce is fabulous.

  • Guinea fowl with mushrooms, celery and tarragon

      Wonderful flavours.

  • Pear clafoutis

    • veronicafrance on September 20, 2025

      I had some small ripe pears to use, so I decided to try this. Yes, this cheffy interpretation is delicious, but it’s not really clafoutis in my book. It’s a lush set custard with pears, not a fluffy, risen batter pudding. Notes: I replaced 25g of the sugar with rhododendron honey, as he says the original recipe used honey. I didn’t really know what he meant when he said to whip the egg white and sugar till it was “silky”. But in any case, a single whipped egg white couldn’t be expected to incorporate air into this amount of liquid. Finally, my pears were very sweet, and if I made it again I’d definitely cut down on the sugar content by at least 25g. I think it would be good to serve it with tuiles or similar. It doesn’t need cream.
