Main Dishes

Cook capon the French traditional way at Christmas, with seasonnal vegetables and chestnuts. I give you cooking tips for very tender meat.

Garnished under the skin with butter flavored with fresh herbs, parsley and tarragon, giving an insanely delicious tender, juicy meat & crispy skin.

Classic French homecooking dish, with 2 ingredients only. Filet mignon is simply coated with lots of Dijon mustard and cooked. Tender meat, flavorful sauce.

Daube provençale de bœuf à l’orange. Almost like the iconic bœuf bourguignon, this beef stew from South France Provence is slow-cooked in red wine. I like to add orange for a modern twist.

Sunday oven-roasted chicken is a tradition in France. Here with a nice twist: on a bed of sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. It gets a bit caramelized. Delicious…

Who said French cuisine is complicated? All you need here is duckling and oranges, season and roast in the oven. Why don't you try?

Classic French beef stew long cooked in beer, with onions and a few slices of gingerbread spread with Dijon mustard. Comforting and super easy.

What about choosing delicious sausages (here French chipolatas) and opt for tasty fillings ? I suggest a South France Provence twist and a green option.

To change from classic barbecue treats, here is a marinade with olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime and herbs. A French Twist for pork tenderloin on the BBQ

A very simple and tasty marinade, quick to prepare. Paprika, olive oil, herbs, a bit of lemon juice. Ideal for your barbecues.

Quick and easy, the French just love to serve flavored sauces with meat. Here a creamy chervil sauce with veal but it actually works well with poultry such as chicken.

A delicious blackcurrant sauce with a hint of balsamic vinegar, and a little trick to perfectly cook your duck breast fillets, so that they are sooo tender. Did you know that duck is on of  French's favourite meat.

This is a daily home cooking dish and an nice way to present fish. My kids love it. Cod cooked in coconut milk becomes very soft and tasty. With vegetables and a crisp breadcrumb crumble topping ... An easy thus amazing dish.

A delicious way of eating fish, with a nice golden brown crunchy coating and silky fish filling. Kids love it! You can have fun seasoning breadcrumb, here with parsley

Slowly cooking meat in apple cider is a great idea. Meat becomes extremely soft and the sauce is a delight.

The French just love traditional dishes made of melted creamy cheese with potatoes and deli meat. Among those, tartiflette is the perfect meal in winter! Called gratin in French, it's made of potatoes, reblochon cheese and bacon.

I always have a great success when serving a whole rack of lamb. Honey and cumin sauce works well with white meats. Here, with lamb, it gets almost caramelized. A delight!

If one think of Easter traditional family meal, there's immediatly images of roast leg of lamb. Why not changing for the 7-hour recipe, slow cooked in the oven at low temperature? Quite long but very easy to make. The meat becomes so tender that you can even serve it with a tablespoon. Almost like a confit.
