"I do not profess to make these all the time; living in France gives me access to wonderful croissants and other French breakfast pastries, However, these are even BETTER than MOST I can buy at the boulangerie, really!

"Every self-respecting French housewife has a tub of this by the side of her cooker; they are all slightly different depending on the region you live in, but this is one that I use over and over again.

"One of my most popular vegetarian recipes at "Auberge de la Fontaine" and also great served as a starter too.

It is delicious served warm or at room temperature with the garlicky..."

Ingredients: fennel bulbs, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil...

"For a summer lunch or dinner, one of my favorite salads. There is always a debate going on about this salad, what should be in there and what not. I don't use potatoes in mine, but if you like to add them, do so. I have added the sardines because I like them in this salad, but you can leave them out. The dressing can be drizzled over the salad..."
