Jane C. July 15, 2016
Favorite French meal would have to be omelettes, crepes, and a toasted baguette with fruit spread.
Denise July 15, 2016
My favorite recipe is homemade pâté de champagne served with crusty French bread and fresh butter.

I adore fish! As do my family. So I'm always looking for delicious fish recipes. One of our favorites is butter-fried sole.....or as the French say sole meunière. Served with pan seared asparagus seasoned with sea salt, and fresh lemon juice! Absolutely delicious,

I have dreams about a lovely warm lentil salad that my friend made when I was visiting them a few years ago. She used the lentils du puys, thyme, onion and carrot dressed with a lovely vinaigrette. And nothing beats a crepe with nutella. I also love to make the simple pan roasted chicken grandmere from Julie Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Getting hungry just thinking about this!

My favorite go-to French dish is Ratatouille! Easy, tasty and so yummy left over.

Anything with duxelles...

Potatoes Gratinee, my children were raised eating these each holiday dinner, but especially Christmas... my daughter the cheeselover would grate the gruyere, my son would help peel the potatoes, and I would slice. The anticipation as the scent of cheese baking with potatoes, a slight whiff of garlic permeating throughout was and is so joyful.. :)

Clafoutis, at least once each summer with fresh cherries, and with other fruit in other seasons.
Melissa K. July 14, 2016
My favorite recipe is London Broil with a reduction sauce of red wine, seasoned with butter, cinnamon and cloves. Served with hash browns and steamed broccoli.

nothing my daughters like me to cook for them than eggs Benedict.
Janet July 14, 2016
Julia Child's clafouti. I've probably made it 100 times.
Lorissa July 14, 2016
No matter where I travel or live, I gravitate toward Crepes - sweet and savory - they are the epitomy of a comforting, light & delicious treat. Growing up, no rainy or chilly evening would pass without my mom making crepes (in South Africa where I'm from originally, they're pancakes) with a good sprinkling of cinnamon sugar & squeeze of fresh lemon.

Boeuf Bourgnignon. I enjoy the time it takes to cook and the wonderful smells in the house. Nothing better on a crisp fall day.
