Posted on June 29, 2017 by cookinginsens

Succulent Pork Roast with Apples and Onions

Posted on March 4, 2016 by cookinginsens

I had to empty out my old, stainless steel refrigerator in preparation for the arrival of the new, white refrigerator. Though tedious, it gave me a chance to find out exactly what I had in the freezer. While most of the frozen … Continue reading →

Rabbit with Lardons, Mustard and Mushrooms

Posted on May 11, 2015 by cookinginsens

It’s such a hoot to be back in France! When I bought this bunny rabbit at Maison Trotoux, he asked me 3 times if I wanted the head cut off and included in the package. I told him 3 times, … Continue reading →

Reincarnation

Posted on September 11, 2013 by cookinginsens

Mope or blog? No contest. I tried moping for a while; wearing drab clothing, washing dishes that could have gone into the dishwasher, nearly forgetting our 37th wedding anniversary, reading Jane Austen for the nth time, cooking and eating mechanically. I … Continue reading →

Oven Pork Chops with Thyme Scented Mushrooms

Posted on November 28, 2012 by cookinginsens

One of my go-to treatments for chicken parts and meat chops is to season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dust with flour before baking them in butter. I like this because when learning to cook, I could never … Continue reading →

Grilled Trout Groseilles and Thyme

Posted on June 14, 2012 by cookinginsens

One of my readers mentioned using a fish cage when grilling, which reminded me that I had one. I had to find it first, then clean off the cobwebs but I’m glad I did. This was the first time I … Continue reading →

Posted on May 24, 2011 by cookinginsens

What I wanted to serve with the duck legs was yams but I neglected to go to the market yesterday. Luckily, I found this moon rock-looking celeriac in the Carrefour City and since I like celeriac, I was good … Continue reading →

Veal Kidneys Parmentier with Port and Mushrooms

Posted on May 13, 2011 by cookinginsens

Where would French cuisine be today without the influence of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier? Probably potato-less and less imaginative. There are a plethora of dishes in France prepared “Parmentier”; boudin, cabillaud, shrimp, ground beef, ground pork, sausages, etc. Thanks … Continue reading →

Thyme for Roast Chicken with Root Vegetables

Posted on March 2, 2011 by cookinginsens

Wednesday market. I think that root vegetables are some of the least attractive vegetables, in a sort of “evil lurks this way” manner. It doesn’t help that the market people like to display them with that “just picked” look with … Continue reading →

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Fennel and Apricots

Posted on February 28, 2011 by cookinginsens

I found this recipe at the “real simple” website, however it was so simple, I decided to complicate it 🙂 For instance, I think the bacon wrapped tenderloin should be browned separately, removed from the pan and replaced after … Continue reading →
