    I would try the Pissaladière.

  • Caypron  on  March 6, 2017

    Everything sounds interesting. However, since I'm sitting here considering what to do with an English beef roast, I'm thinking I'd love to try the Daube de Boeuf first. Then I'll graduate down the line – sides, salads, etc

  • Lem9579  on  March 14, 2017

    Brinjal Curry. With all those spices it must be extremely tasty.

    Tarte au Citron sounds yummy!

  • fiarose  on  March 19, 2017

    Definitely a meat dish. The french cooking is so rich and flavoraful. I would pick Poulet au poivron, fenouil et olives (chicken dish) or Daube de boeuf (beef dish), I never tried cooking a rabbit because I like to think of them as pets and not many stores carry them near me (at least I think so.)

    First I would have to make the Lime Salt so I could make the Fried Squid with lime salt and pepper. Yum!

  • kate  on  March 27, 2017

    Pissaladiere–can't have too many versions of it!

  • EmilyR  on  March 28, 2017

    The aïoli, because I had some with the most amazing fries and steak when I was in Provence… but that sticky rice is a close second.

  • JenJoLa  on  March 29, 2017

    Samosas au thon. I'm a sucker for a good samosa.

  • Julia  on  March 29, 2017

    Sacristan.

    I want to cook everything in this! But I would try Lapin au thym, ail et lardons first because I have a fresh lapin in my freezer.

  • Wende  on  April 10, 2017

    I would love to try the author's Pan Bagnat. Every recipe for it is different. I can;t wait to see the photos in this book. I have a couple of her books and the photos are exceptionally beautiful.

  • Execchef1225  on  April 10, 2017

    Ratatouille Créole Sound so comforting. Maybe a poached egg on top.

  • imaluckyducky  on  April 10, 2017

    Barbecued lemongrass pork

  • HokieCarrie  on  April 11, 2017

    There are too many to choose just one. Moules au cidre, crème brûlée passion et vanille, pots de crème au caramel, caramels au beurre salé arte au pommes… oh so many!

  • rchreview  on  April 11, 2017

    I don't cook much French food – but I never pass up a good Tapenade recipe.
