SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CRÈME D’ÉCHALOTES
This recipe is all about nailing the classic sauce à la minute, a reduction of white wine, shallots, and tarragon that’s finished with cream and a touch of butter.
TOMATO & MUSTARD TART
Meet your new all-round dish for summer entertaining. When friends are coming over for a spontaneous aperitif, this puff pastry tart is my go-to recipe. It’s quick and easy and will be devoured by guests at any type of gathering, from garden party to family lunch on a sunny terrace. What I love most about this recipe is that no tart or pie dish is required. Just roll out the premade puff pastry and top with the condiments, herbs and juicy ripe tomatoes. It’s like a slice of Provence on your plate.
ŒUFS MAILLOTÉS
Step back in time with Œufs Maillotés, an intriguing French recipe from the early 1900s that transforms simple eggs into an elegant culinary masterpiece. The name "maillotés" means "wrapped," and here, eggs are encased in buttery puff pastry
OEUFS EN MEURETTE
Oeufs en Meurette is a classic Burgundian starter where poached eggs take center stage, bathed in a rich sauce bourguignonne (red wine sauce). Traditionally served on golden, garlic-coated croutons and topped with crispy bacon and fresh parsley, this dish is a showcase of French culinary elegance.
Gratin d’oeufs
A legendary creation by Fernand Point, this unique recipe features sliced hard-boiled eggs arranged over a luxurious mixture of heavy cream, Béchamel sauce, and Hollandaise sauce
Eggs à la Florentine
In France, the term cooking “à la Florentine” refers to anything cooked with spinach and Mornay sauce. Chicken, fish or vegetables . . . almost anything will work well on a bed of sautéed spinach, doused in a homemade Mornay sauce and melted cheese. Broiled under the grill and served with toasted bread, this luscious, creamy egg dish will delight any spinach lover.
Bistrot EGG SALAD
I’m revisiting one of the ultimate French comfort foods—cordon bleu, two ways! First, we’ve got the classic chicken, ham, and cheese combo, and then a twist with veal, pancetta, and blue cheese.

RED TAPENADE

Bacon, Mushroom and Gruyere Quiche
The flavors of Normandy are deeply rooted in the pillars of cream, cider, calvados, and apples. In this region of France, these ingredients grace almost every recipe, and this mussel recipe is no exception. It takes a unique approach by incorporating cider instead of wine to steam the mussels, enhancing their flavors.
WARM GOATS CHEESE SALAD
This salad is a classic regional-style starter found in bistros all over France.
THE CLOUD EGG
Chicken Bercy is a lesson in basic sauce making used in French culinary schools.
BASQUE-STYLE TERRINE

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM PÂTÉ
Indulge in the exquisite flavors of our chicken and mushroom pâté, a culinary masterpiece great for special occasions that combines traditional richness with a contemporary twist.
QUICHE AU FROMAGE
This triple cheese quiche is simply sensational. I carefully chose three styles of cheese (hard, soft, and a blue cheese) to create a fine balance of flavors. The nuttiness of the Comté contrasts beautifully with the soft, creamy texture of Fontina, and the addition of pieces of blue cheese on top delivers a little nugget of treasure every now and then.
COURGETTE WITH CHORIZO
This recipe for sautéed courgettes with onions, cumin, lemon, and chorizo is a perfect example of how a few ingredients can come together to create a flavorful meal, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. It is great as a side dish or a tapas-style appetizer.

SAFFRON MUSSEL SOUP
The saffron and cream beautifully complement the natural richness of the mussels, resulting in a silky texture that you’ll want to savor.
French meatballs
Dip your toe into charcuterie making and taste our authentic chipolatas (pork) and merguez sausages (spicy lamb), in the form of munchable meatballs. I used the forcemeat to make meatballs, instead of fiddling around with a sausage maker. It’s so much easier and tastes crazy delicious.
