Chicken Fricassée
A classic French stew featuring tender chicken in a rich, creamy white mushroom sauce. Juicy bone-in pieces simmer with mushrooms, onions, garlic, and aromatic herbs, then finished with cream for a luxurious, family-friendly dish. Perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or short pasta.
Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
This is a fantastic weekday-friendly version of Chicken Cordon Bleu. It delivers all the classic flavor and crunch you love, but it's faster to prepare and healthier since it's baked instead of fried. You have a choice between two different crumbing methods—the "Super Easy" or the "Quick Dredge"—to get the perfect coating. Both are simple and yield a delicious result. The dish is finished with a stunning and traditional Dijon Cream Sauce that brings everything together beautifully.
Tomato Salad with Olive Tapenade
This tomato salad makes the most of ripe, juicy tomatoes, highlighted with a bold black olive tapenade. The salty tang of the tapenade enhances the sweetness of the tomatoes, creating a fresh, vibrant side dish that is simple to prepare. Freshly made tapenade offers a depth of olive flavour unmatched by store-bought jars.
Kir Royale (French Champagne Cocktail)
A sweet and sparkling champagne cocktail traditionally served as a pre-dinner drink in French bistros. The deep red hue from the Creme de cassis pairs perfectly with the crisp, refreshing taste of champagne. Adjust sweetness by taste – from a hint of blackcurrant to a deeper, more pronounced red.
Classic French Ratatouille
This classic French ratatouille is a vegetable stew that captures the sunny essence of the Mediterranean! Each vegetable is sautéed separately to enhance its unique flavor before being gently braised together in a rich, tomato-based sauce. The result is a colorful, summery dish that’s both hearty and light, with a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and herbaceous notes. Serve it as a stunning vegetarian main with crusty bread or as a versatile side to complement any meal. It’s a wholesome, crowd-pleasing dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious!
French Coq au Vin
A timeless French dish where chicken is braised in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, onions, and herbs until tender, enveloped in a rich glossy sauce. With deep, layered flavours and a luxurious texture, this is a dish fit for a celebration yet simple enough for an elegant dinner at home. The key lies in marinating the chicken overnight and slow cooking until the flavours meld into perfection.
