Tip: The Parmesan crumbles can be cut into sticks for grilling with the gratin, and served as an aperitif.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 30 min.
Gratin with Parmesan flavours : Stage 14
Bake at 200°C (390°F) for approximately 30 minutes.
Remarks
Once the gratin is in the oven, I recommend that you set aside the cooking milk, discarding the croutes, garlic and sage, for use later in another recipe, such as a béchamel sauce.

If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Fruit salad
Fruit salad
To make a good fruit salad, there are three important points:
  1. Choose fruits that go well together (avoid putting soft pears with crunchy apples for example).
  2. Remove absolutely all skins and seeds.
  3. Bring it all together with a good home made sugar syrup added to the fruit juices.
Here is a recipe which does all of that.

How to fry eggs well
How to fry eggs well
You've probably heard the expression: "S/he can't even cook an egg," suggesting that the person referred is a hopeless cook. In reality, frying eggs well isn't as easy as it might appear. The two most frequent errors: the white develops a brown crust around the outside which is unpleasant in the mouth, or the yolk is surrounded by white that is still raw and runny. Here is a foolproof and easy method that will help you avoid both.
