Cheese Madeleines with Chives
Bastille Day is a French national holiday which is celebrated on July 14th every year, similar to the July 4th celebration in the United States. It is the commemoration of the storming of the Paris Bastille in 1789, a citizens’ victory at the outset of the French Revolution.
I’m a Francophile, and readily admit it. I’ve been hopelessly trying to learn to speak French for more years than I care to tell you but I haven’t given up yet. Cooking French food is much easier than trying learn to...

This beautiful Cook's Garden "catalogue" arrived in our mail last month. Under the title it says, "seeds & plants for gourmet gardeners." You can find the website at: www.cooksgarden.com.

In our town garden, rabbits eat nearly everything I plant and up north at our cabin in northern Wisconsin, the deer eat many of my plants.

Today is Day of the Mushroom, according to THE NIBBLE website. I’m not sure who declares “food holidays” but hey, what better reason is there to prepare a steak recipe with mushrooms for dinner on a Friday night?
I plan to make Béarnaise Steak with Mushrooms (see recipe below), not only because of the mushrooms but because of the herbed-butter served with the steak. Mixed into soft butter are two spring herbs: chives and tarragon. I pulled out the tarragon from my garden y...
