Well folks, as of this week, we have made 52 recipes from Dorie Greenspan's book, Around My French Table. 52! (Unless my math is off...totally possible) And tomorrow, October first, is one year since we have posted the first results of the first recipe: Gougeres! I have not been faithful in making every recipe, but I have made most of them! This group has forced/led me to expand both in cooking and in eating, which is a great thing.
Here are my five favourite recipes from our journey thus far!!
Warm Weather Pot de Feu
This utterly simple soup is one I have made at least two times more since we made it as a group. It is warm, Delicious and satisfying but packs a ton of veggies in a bowl!
Chicken B'stilla
What can I say... the flavours and textures in this dish were amazing. So unlike anything I have made before!
Cafe Salle Pleyel Hamburger
I loved the Red Onion Marmalade and the sun-dried tomatoes in the burgers, delicious and different.
Vanilla eclairs
To be honest, it was the Chocolate Pastry cream of Dorie's that made me fall in love with these eclairs. I ate... many.
Salted Butter Break-ups
A sweet and salty humongous cookie to break up with friends, what can go wrong?
Such awesome pictures!

I missed the Warm Weather Pot de Feu, but will definitely do a catch up on that one some time. The Salted Butter Break-ups and Chicken B'stilla would make it into my top five, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun recap! You have highlighted some real winners from the past year.
ReplyDeleteOOhhh.... I have some recipes to catch up on! The break-up has been a hit with so many people! ... How did you get on with the BLT salad?
ReplyDeleteI need to make those breakup cookies again. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made the eclairs yet! I better get busy.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been a year. So many great recipes. And I've never made so many recipes from a single book before. I like your picks for top 5.
ReplyDeleteTerrific post and photos! I didn't make the pot de feau but you've convinced me I need to! I did make the others and they really are so good. The Chicken B'still was the most unusual.
ReplyDeletethose first two are on my list of dishes to catch up on! I keep looking at the photos and cooking in my head. glad to hear you loved them.
