Christmas Goose with Apples and Calvados

Mushroom Boudin Blanc with Apples

Panfried boudin blanc with carmelized apples and butter sauteed mushroom caps. However, even if you threw these immediately onto a baguette with mustard, who could deny you?  Not I. Or you can go with the program. Jade did.  That’s why … Continue reading
