This was summer…

August 23, 2013 by Ullrich

From the shores of Normandy to the Bavarian Alps, from the splendour of the Côte d’Azur to the woody canyons of Ardèche: Life could be worse…

Fourty shades of pray: French tourte

May 26, 2013 by Ullrich

Cooking may be fun most of the time – but when you really go for it, it turns into hard labour. That is certainly true for the classic French dish called tourte, a bourgeois marvel of culinary decadence which basically combines two elaborate dishes into one.

French Terrine: Ramp up the big guns!

May 24, 2013 by Ullrich

A home-made terrine makes the pride of each amateur chef. A poor man’s feast in former times, it has turned into an almost ceremonial dish nowadays. Here are some basic rules for how to do it at home.

What is THE French signature dish?

May 1, 2013 by Ullrich

Think Germany and sauerkraut, Korea and kimchi, Japan and sushi, America and hamburgers. Think Spain and paella, Italy and pasta, Russia and borschtsch. But what is THE French signature dish?

Cheese University (XXIX): Mothais sur feuille

April 4, 2013 by Ullrich

Let me introduce you to the Mothais sur feuille, a great French goat cheese widely unknown. It hasn’t got its AOC yet but it should only be a matter of time. It’s just too good.

Real French cooking: Let’s get to work!

March 29, 2013 by Ullrich

I confess that I’ve spent half of Holy Friday cooking. I actually don’t know whether that’s considered a sin by our Christian authorities (I guess so). To defend myself, I would argue that it was all about fish. I even created an original dish of my own!

Do As The French Butchers Do

February 13, 2013 by Ullrich

A French poulet fermier is not the chicken most people are used to. Seasoned just with a mixture of salt, pepper, piment d’Espelette, some lemon juice and olive oil it can turn into a marvellous dish.

When I saw the dark grey clouds over Paris this morning, the idea of a heart-warming pot-au-feu was born right away.

France: Where you want to eat…

February 3, 2013 by Ullrich

I’ve been out of Paris over the week-end, we’ve visited a dog breeder’s farm in the Sologne region to find us a new flat coated retriever but our short trip happened to turn into a culinary excursion, too. We roamed close to Aubigny-sur-Nèr, that’s very close to the banks of the Loire, so close, in fact, that we had to fight some inundations on the way.

Winter Pleasures

February 1, 2013 by Ullrich

Today, after my visit at the street market not far from home, I couldn’t help unpacking everything I had bought just to admire my great catch.

Cheese University (XXVII): Pouligny Saint-Pierre

February 4, 2012 by Ullrich

In the world of cheese, pyramids normally don’t speak of exotic places but of comfy, cozy ones like the Parc naturel de la Brenne stretching in the middle of nowhere, not far from France’s geographic center that is. I haven’t been there in person, so I can’t tell whether the descriptions are true that this was a “land of a thousand ponds”. What I can say is that the park gives home to the smallest Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée of French […]
