Brochettes d’agneau au romarin
Hot summer evenings are the perfect time for outdoor grilling. But what if you don’t have access to a barbecue? Marooned in Paris for most of the summer, I decided to investigate. The solution: lamb kebabs on wooden skewers, marinated … Continue reading

Tagine de veau aux petits pois et citron
This Moroccan dish is unusual in that it uses fresh lemons, which marry perfectly with veal and first-of-the-season peas to create a zingy blend of flavors. The tartness of the lemon juice is softened by honey and cilantro, and the … Continue reading

Rôti de boeuf
The French roast their beef astoundingly quickly. The first time I bought a roast in Paris — where it’s customary to ask the butcher about the cooking time — I nearly fell over when he said to preheat the oven … Continue reading

Blanquette de veau
This most classic of French veal dishes got its name from it’s light-colored creamy sauce. The sauce is more or less white (blanc), and the dish could translate as ‘little white veal stew.’ Ah oui, mes amis, but let’s not … Continue reading
Boeuf bourguignon
Is there any dish that more eloquently evokes French cuisine? Boeuf bourguignon is an ultimate classic, made even more famous outside of France by the 2009 film Julie and Julia, in which a young Brooklyn woman sets out to make … Continue reading
Petits farcis
One of my favorite dishes from Provence is petits farcis — small pieces of zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes stuffed with tiny herb-flavored meatballs. Sweet red peppers are often included, but it’s more difficult to get the shape right. When midsummer … Continue reading
