As we’re both pescatarians, we enjoy the famous Boeuf Bourguignon, but without the beef. Meaty mushrooms braised in red wine with pearl onions, carrots, and herbs until everything's rich and deeply savoury.

Clafoutis is what happens when the French can't decide if they want cake or custard, so they just make both at once. This recipe comes from our French neighbour Michèle but this is the blueberries version 🫐

The key is finding proper Reblochon cheese, that's what makes tartiflette taste like tartiflette. Without it, you're basically making cheesy potatoes. With it, you're making the French Alps in a dish.

I make these far too often, but they're just so easy and work with literally everything, fish, vegetables, even just on their own! The French call them criques in the Ardèche region, where they've been making them for centuries.

We take baguettes very seriously. A baguette from yesterday should be used for breadcrumbs, be toasted or make “pain perdu” with. The only way to eat a baguette is fresh. Raise your hand if you know what we’re talking about 🙌

This is what the French pull out when they're trying to impress someone. Morels are a bit mad. They look like tiny sponges and taste like the forest in the best possible way. Foragers in France guard their picking spots like state secrets!

A tradition I look forward to every year, because it tastes delicious and it's a chance to be queen (or king) for a moment! Even as an adult, I love the anticipation of finding the "fève"... I know, I'm such a child 🫣

And just to make sure, in the name of luck, love, and prosperity, I'm following French New Year superstitions. Will it work? No idea. But I'll be wearing red and eating lentils just in case 😂

These are proper crowd-pleasers and they work for everything, apéro with friends, Boxing Day buffet, or just "I want something nice for lunch." What's your go-to mini quiche filling?

These little French cakes started as almond cakes made by nuns. Then a pastry chef saw a gap in the market and shaped them like gold bars for the trading stockbrokers! The go-to snack for busy bankers who wanted something elegant, tasty, and mess-free

Did you know Louis XIV had six dozen delivered to Versailles daily to eat before breakfast? And between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, the French consume half their entire annual oyster supply, 4 kilos per household in less than a fortnight.

I genuinely don't remember life without crème brûlée. Privileged French frog, I know 🐸 That smooth vanilla custard with a sheet of caramelised sugar that cracks when you tap it with a spoon... it's one of life's simple pleasures.

Red wine, orange, spices and everything nice! I've convinced myself that wine with spices counts as wellness. Anyone else? 🤣

This is the proper Savoyarde version, Comté, Beaufort, Emmental and a splash of white wine, all melted together in a pot you gather around like it's a campfire. You dip bread, you drink wine and you don't move for hours 🤣

In Provence, the 13 desserts are a tad different. Provençal families lay them out on Christmas Eve and leave the table set for three days. Anyone who visits gets offered them.
Would you swap the Viennetta for a bowl of candied fruit this year?

Stop calling them deviled eggs.. 🤫 We’re elevating the appetizer game to full French chic'ness with Oeufs Mimosa. Named after the tiny, bright yellow flowers that smell like sunshine!

The cheese board is a whole moment. Shows up between courses at dinner parties, stars at apéros with friends, gets taken very seriously by everyone involved. Want to know how to create your own?

The French holy trinity of "I can't believe you made this": Light choux pastry, proper crème pâtissière, dark chocolate sauce. And if you make a tower of these little delights, it’s called a “croquembouche”!

This soup fixes everything. Having a bad day? Onion soup. Are you coming down with something? Onion soup. Slight hangover from last night's wine? Definitely onion soup. Serve with a ridiculous amount of bubbling cheese on top. Because, well, when in France. 🇫🇷🐸

Fancy chestnut pan with holes? Great. Regular oven? Perfect. Barbecue? Even better. Just remember to cut a cross or horizontal slit in each one, or they'll explode like tiny edible grenades in your kitchen.
