The method is very similar to the recipe of the leavened bread.

Mix water, salt, and leaven, add the special ingredients, then add the flour and yeast. Knead in the same way.

When shaping you can :
  • Make a 1 kg loaf
  • Cut the dough into lumps of 100 g to make small rolls or baps. If they are for a meal where you will serve several kinds, cut into lumps of 60/70 gr.


Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Nothing else bread

This bread got this funny name because it's so filling it can be eaten on its own. It's Nicolas's original idea and name.

To make it, dice small and mix together:
  • 120g Comté
  • 120g Morteau sausage
  • 120g onion, chopped the day before and soaked overnight in:
  • 200g water which will be used to make the bread (note: it's not the usual quantity of water).
  • 120g potatoes, parboiled in salted water
  • 100g coarsely chopped walnuts or 50g sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons walnut oil
And incorporate this mixture at the appropriate stage (see above). Texture is a little strange to knead and work, and the bread does not rise much, but it's delicious to eat just on its own.

Crème brulée
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

Home-made terrine of foie gras
Home-made terrine of foie gras
Preparing your own home-made foie gras from raw is immensively satisfying: good quality liver and a simply amazing flavour – much better than anything you can buy. This recipe is a bit tricky, but quite within everyone's grasp, as long as you follow the 3 most delicate stages carefully. These are, in order: de-veining the liver, seasoning and cooking. As usual, I have explained every stage of the recipe in full, with photos to help you.

Morteau sausage
Morteau sausage
In this recipe, Morteau sausages are cooked on a bed of chopped potatoes. The trick is to cook the Morteau sausage slowly, so that its delicious, smoky flavor descends on the potatoes, which are crispy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside, a pure delight.

You should not put an aluminum container directly in the oven
You should not put an aluminum container directly in the oven
If you put an aluminum container, containing food to be cooked or reheated, in your oven directly on the shelf, the shiny base will reflect a large part of the oven heat (like a mirror). This means that the food will take much longer to cook or heat through than usual.
