RecipeFrench onion soup
A deeply comforting yet thrifty dish. Take time to caramelise the onions, building up a mahogany marmalade to colour and flavour the broth.
FeaturesCooking in Julia Child’s kitchen
When we first heard about Julia Child’s Provence cottage going up for rent on Airbnb, the news certainly spawned a few days of vacation daydreaming. Rosanna Pansino, however, made that dream a reality.
RecipeSummer berry tartelettes
Everyone will love these mini-tarts. They’re so pretty, and they taste every bit as good as they look!
RecipeRaspberry ripple éclairs
These summery éclairs are filled with a delicious raspberry ripple cream and topped with fondant icing and fresh raspberries.
RecipePistachio & lemon macarons
You can use any nut as the base of a macaron, but pistachio adds colour and works well with zingy lemon curd.
RecipeQuick ratatouille
This is a simpler version of the classic French dish. Just add crusty bread or serve alongside chicken or fish.
RecipeSteak, roast celeriac and chicory salad with roquefort
This salad is simple but it’s a firm favourite of ours. Roquefort is the king of the blue cheeses!
RecipeNutty pithivier with watercress & pistachio pesto
An excellent vegetarian or vegan alternative to the usual roast that works well with all the trimmings.
RecipeHeston’s Potatoes Boulangére
A simple French dish that amounts to indulgent cheesy potatoes. They go beautifully with a roast guinea fowl.
RecipeBoneless rib-eye steak with béarnaise sauce
A classic steak recipe served with a brilliant béarnaise. This recipe comes from chef Simon Cottard – it has been on his restaurant menu for 30 years, need we say more?
