Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I have made Dorie’s speculoos cookies before from Around My French Table and the reviews were great. I was looking forward to trying this recipe. The difference with this recipe is the technique, this dough is rolled into logs and then sliced and baked. My first attempt did not…

French Fridays – Chicken, Apples, and Cream a la Normande
Continuing on my French cooking journey, I had some extra cream and searched through Around My French Table and came across this chicken recipe; Chicken, Apples, and Cream a la Normande. We rarely make dishes with a sauce so this recipe was a treat. Skinless, boneless chicken breasts are dredged in flour, salt and pepper…
French Fridays – Hachis Parmentier
It is officially Fall in the northern hemisphere and I have been craving foods that we associate with Fall. Despite the fact that we are expecting a heat wave in California, I thought it was safe to turn on the oven and make Hachis Parmentier the French version of Shepherd’s pie from Around My French…
French Fridays – Corn Soup
Fall is in the air in Venice Beach. I have felt a chill in the air in the evenings and found dew on my windows in the morning. Before I say goodbye to Summer I wanted to make a corn dish. Corn was on sale at my local market and I decided on Dorie’s Corn…
French Fridays – Tomato Mustard Tart
My neighbor brought me over a bag of tomatoes from his garden, a nice summer surprise. My husband made a batch of marinara sauce but I had my eye on this tomato- mustard tart from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. I had made the other version of Gerard’s Mustard Tart with carrots and…
French Fridays with Dorie Dressy Pasta Risotto
This dressy pasta “risotto” was delicious and a big hit at our house. It is a fancy macaroni and cheese that is made like risotto. I sauteed one onion in butter until soft, added 3 3/4 cups chicken broth and brang to a boil. Then I added 1 1/3 cups of pasta and simmered 20-25…
French Fridays with Dorie Roast Chicken for Les Paresseux
I was having family over for a meal and wanted to make something special but not a lot of work. Dorie’s roast chicken for les paresseux (lazy people) seemed to fit the bill and also had many recommendations from the group. Two pieces of bread were put on the bottom of the pan and the…
French Fridays with Dorie Spur-of-the-moment Vegetable Soup
It was a rare rainy day in California and me and my family were in varying stages of illness. I can’t think of a better day to make soup. I decided on vegetable soup aka stone soup the carrot version. This chicken broth based soup has carrots, onion, celery, garlic, ginger, rosemary, thyme and potato….
French Fridays with Dorie Chestnut-Pear Soup
Having just made Dorie’s Chocolate Chestnut Tart with Vanilla Chestnut Syrup, I thought I would stay on the chestnut theme with Pear and Chestnut Soup. For this soup I sauteed onion, leek and celery in butter for 10 minutes. Then tossed in a peeled cubed pear, rosemary (or thyme), chicken broth and the cooked chestnuts. Simmer…
French Fridays with Dorie Asparagus Soup
Asparagus Soup from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan We love asparagus soup and I have a go-to recipe from Food and Wine. When I saw Dorie’s version which included leeks I thought I would give it a go. After carefully reading the recipe I decided I would use Dorie’s ingredients but not her…
