Croustipatates


Croustipatates
Croustipatates are potatoes that are melt-in-the-mouth on the inside and very crispy on the outside, thanks to a double cooking process, first in water, then in the oven.

They're a perfect accompaniment to a variety of meat and fish dishes, but also a dish in themselves, with a little hot cancoillotte poured over them just before serving, for example.

European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).
