Today we made 3 dishes and focused on Bretagne. First we had Moules Mariniere, then Crêpes Traditionnelle and Clafoutis aux Prunes. We didn’t put anything in the crêpes but there was sugar in the batter so they were very tasty. The clafoutis was like a cake with plums- pictured. You could use any fruit in this dish. Notice I didn’t mention the moules. I don’t eat mussels but I did include the picture. It smelled really good!

La Cuisine Française
I’m taking a French cooking class all week and today was great! There are 23 of us, all French teachers, and the instructor is French, from Annecy, France. Each day, we will learn about a particular region in France and then cook two dishes from the area. Today we learned about Auvergne and make a stew (the name of it is in my papers which I’m too lazy to get right now) and a pie called Tarte Aux Myrtilles- blueberry pie! Unlike the typial American blueberry pie, there was no top crust and the blueberries didn’t get squished and runny like they do in ours because it wasn’t cooked very long at all. THis isn’t a picture of the one we made but I just realized with my fancy new phone I should take pictures of the actual food we make! Stayed tuned! The stew was also very good- sausage, pork, LOTS of garlic, potatoes and cabbage. Very tasty and it will be good to make in the winter.
I’m thinking I might like to try some of these dishes if I do a French club. Just how I’m going to get to a stove is another question since I’m not “certified” to use the cafeteria appliances.
