Nanou's red cabbage salad
If you are used to the usual red cabbage salad (just cabbage in a vinaigrette), I hope you will be agreeably surprised with this more sophisticated version using herbs, diced Parmesan and fried croutons.

Add the croutons to the salad. Finish with 5 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and serve without delay.
Remarks
As suggested in stage 4, it is worth using a brown, rustic style of bread (avoid sliced white if you can), which makes croutons that look stylish when browned and taste as good as they look.

If you don't have clarified butter, use normal butter, but do take care not to let it burn when frying the croutons.

For the cheese, you can use Pecorino or Comté instead of Parmesan.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Boiling potatoes in their skins
Boiling potatoes in their skins
Boiling potatoes has given rise to two sayings: 1) You should not peel potatoes before boiling. 2) You should not leave potatoes to cool in the cooking water. The first suggests that potatoes should be always cooked in their skins, to prevent water penetrating and making the potatoes go soft and break up. The second suggests that if potatoes cool in their cooking water, they will absorb some of it, which will give them an unpleasant flavour. True or false? Let's try the...
