Fougasse
After a couple of unusually hot days in California, I couldn’t help but feel some anticipation for summer. I spent the weekend by the pool, bbq-ing, indulging in my favorite ice cream, and watching travel videos of the French Riviera. I love watching those travel guide films, especially when they share views of the beautiful lavender fields of Provence and glimmering turquoise waters of the Cote d’Azur. To quell my pressing need for a dose of Southern France, I made this Provencal olive bread called fougasse. Eating the flavorful bread, warm out the oven, I could almost feel the sea breeze on my face and smell the lavender trailing through the air.
Crème d’Asperges (Asparagus Soup)
I always think it’s so interesting how our tastes change as we grow older. Things we used to love, we may not be as excited about anymore. Likewise, things we used to hate, we may have a newfound adoration for. Take asparagus, for example. I used to cringe when my mom would serve a platter of roasted asparagus with dinner. Now, I’m more than happy to find them on my dining table, as evident by the recipe I shared for asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Since asparagus season has begun, I thought it only right to share another one of my favorite asparagus recipes, crème d’asperges.
