Ganache

Ganache

Let’s make a simple ganache, all buttery and chocolaty, flavored with vanilla, coffee, and lime zest. You can use it to fill any pastries or glaze any cake you’d like, but this time, we’re going to season ours with pistachio and eat it as it is!

Apple-Filled Galette

Inspired to us directly by the French cuisine, the ‘galettes’ can be pancakes (or crepes), pies, or cakes. Savory or sweet. Ours is a sweet pie version, filled with apples and onion pan-cooked in cider, and with Swiss cheese. We flavored it with thyme, cayenne, and rosemary. Enjoy!

Apple Souffle

The first souffles were created in the enlightened 18th century France and here we are in the 21st trying to put together one of our own. Again. This time we used apples as the main ingredient and flavored them with vanilla extract and cinnamon. Also, ladyfingers and cognac were a must.

Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine

Simply put, the quiche Lorraine is a savory tart where bacon has one or two things to say. This means, among other things, that you can easily add more bacon than we did. You can replace it with lardon, too. Or you can add them both! It’s your call.

Fruits en Papillote

Fruits en Papillote

Baking fruits into folded pouches means that all the aromas you choose to bring together stay there. Here we’ve mixed juicy or creamy fruits with butter, chocolate, or walnuts. We’ve sweetened them and flavored them with rum, peach liqueur, and citrus juice. You can think about other, maybe even more interesting combinations.

Onion Soup

Onion Soup

The onion soup, or “soupe a l’oignon” if you prefer, is one of the most nutritious and delicious starters there is. It is a buttery caramel-flavored wonder. Let’s enhance its smoky finger-licking onion flavor with white wine and beef stock. Hit the home run by topping each individual portion with roasted slices of bread and gooey Gruyere and parmesan cheese.
