It’s certainly not a good time of year to be a snail or a frog as Bastille Day or Le Fête Nationale is upon us. However if you’re having trouble sourcing these French delicacies, you can easily celebrate some other classically French ingredients from the Pukara Estate range. Celebrate the classic French invention for salad: the vinaigrette this weekend by giving these recipes a go.
Omelets, soufflés, meringues, the French are masters with egg cookery. Celebrate the humble egg this weekend with this delicious side dish recipe, the perfect accompaniment to your Coq au Vin or Beef Bourguignon.
Poached Egg & Asparagus with Herbed Goats Curd
I’ll be taking a drive around to my local French patisserie for a lazy Sunday brunch this Sunday – in my Citroen of course. Later that evening I might even sneak a peak at Brisbane’s own Eiffel Tower being re-lit at the Park Road Milton Bastille Day celebration. What will you be doing to celebrate Bastille Day?
