Aligot Recipe Aligot isn't so much a side dish as it is a work of art. Humble potatoes and cheese are beaten together with creme fraiche until they form silky, smooth ribbons of pureed potato. It's a deliciously hearty recipe, and it's tempting to eat it all by itself, in the dead of winter, for its sheer comfort value. Try to hold out, though, and accompany it with a rich steak for a luxurious meal. Once you do, it will be hard to go back to regular mashed potatoes.Read more.

Tuna Nicoise Tartine Recipe This tuna Nicoise tartine recipe is perfect for a sunny afternoon lunch or a quick, healthy meal on the run.

Catalan Cheese and Honey Dessert Recipe The beauty of French cuisine lies in its delicious simplicity. A few perfect ingredients, creatively combined, can make an inspiring dish. This Catalan cheese and honey dessert recipe, known as mel i mato, is a perfect example of that method of cooking. This version uses easily available soft cheese, instead of the classic goat cheese used in the original dish. Toasted walnuts is the traditional garnish to this delectably simple and filling dessert.
