Mustard-Chive Mashed Potatoes

Remember this post on my mustard potatoes? Well, I tried another version a few weeks ago, and they may have replaced my first love as my new favorite comfort food. Don’t get me wrong… there’s...

New Camera! And A Recipe…

I bought a new camera today! I’ll miss the old one… we had a lot of good times together. But my new camera is pretty and shiny, and regardless of what tonight’s picture might make you think, it does...

Cabillaud en Papillote with Roasted Lemon Potatoes

My love of cooking stems–as I assume most people’s does–from a love of food. I started cooking when I was 18 because I had just been granted my own kitchen after three years of cafeteria food, three...

Latkes

When I was seventeen, I was dead-set on the idea of moving back to New York as soon as I finished high school. In my mind, New York would be everything it hadn’t been for me when I was growing up...

Steak with Beurre Rouge and Aligot with Comté

“C’est l’histoire d’un garçon mélancolique parce qu’il a grandi dans un pays suicidé. C’est l’histoire d’un pays qui a réussi à perdre deux guerres en faisant croire qu’il les avait gagnées, et...

Salade composée with tuna, asparagus and new potatoes

My mom is not a big fan of chocolate. She doesn’t like sweets that much at all, except a bite of really good lemon tart, a nibble of a palmier or maybe a few bites of a really good crème brulée. We’re...

Fried Eggs and Home Fries

My interest in France wasn’t originally mine. Sure, I liked it. I got good grades in French class, and I loved the trip I took to Paris with my father when I was 10. But my interest was nothing in...

Tartiflette

When I was first learning to cook, I worshipped cookbooks and cooking magazines. I clipped recipes, bookmarked them on blogs, constantly referred to my Giada di Laurentiis book for the exact way to do...

sanglier, gaulois, dol de bretagne

I’m afraid that I may not have been entirely frank with you, friends. You see, as I reread past posts about my life here in France, you get all of the good stories. The funny encounters. The moments...

Poutine

How far are you willing to go to get what you want? It’s a question that’s difficult to answer honestly, even to yourself… perhaps especially then, in that secret place where you can be completely and...

Foodbuzz 24×24: Lapin à la moutarde avec Thierry

It’s been awhile since I participated in Foodbuzz’s 24×24 event. Every month, I received the notification in my inbox, put it on my things to do, and then allowed the deadline to come and go without a...

Wild Rice, Sweet Potato, and Lentil Salad

I have, at long last, discovered something essential, something that everyone should be aware of — and maybe they are, and I’m just coming to the realization a bit too late. I am responsible for my own...

Sweet Potato and Lentil Parmentier with Cabbage Slaw

I’m all for trying new things. OK, that’s the understatement of the century. (And that’s a well-worn cliché that I’m slightly embarrassed to have used, but while in general I’m very much against...

Sweet Potato Colcannon

I’m a city mouse, and always have been. I love my excursions into the countryside as much as the next city mouse does, but there’s something about the city — two, in particular, have my heart — that...

Spring Potato Salad with Peas, Radishes, and Pesto

“I never realized how many friends I had until I moved to France, and suddenly, my phone was ringing off the hook, and my friend’s cousin’s roommate was asking if I had a couch.” That’s part of my...

Green Potato Salad with Peas and Mint

Did I ever tell you about the time I was backpacking and, after three weeks, ended up eating a bagged salad on the square in front of the cathedral in Bordeaux? I probably did. I’ve told most people...

Salmon Niçoise with Avocado

I used to think that I had become more American the further away I stayed from home. Now, I think I become more American when I come back. I get told off, in France, for not saying “hello” enough, but...

Purple Potato Salad with Shallot and Chive

When it comes to dating someone – or marrying someone – whose language is not the same as yours, miscommunication takes on a whole other level of strange. I know that even people who speak the same...

Beet and Mackerel Potato Salad

I’m not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based salads. Don’t get me wrong – mayonnaise in and of itself is delicious, especially when it’s homemade. I like dipping bulots into it and putting it on tuna...

Salmon with Pesto Potato Salad and Roasted Asparagus

One thing that often surprises American tourists (or even new expats) when they arrive in Paris is that we don’t really have air conditioning here. Honestly, I’ve gotten quite used to it. Paris tends...
